so if you say we could get some wind for the sailboat
and it could, so it could be those ones
so if you cash the bank of the world traveler
from ten months ago
do you remember hans the bus driver?
well i put the red ball and the blue ball
and the two black and white balls
and hans pushed on his brakes
and the four balls went down to that
and hans said,
"get those four balls away from the gearshift"
well these are the days my friends
and these are the days my friends
it could get the railroad for these workers
so will it get some wind for the sailboat
and it could get for it is
will it get some wind for the sailboat
and it could get for it is

two lovers sat on a park bench
with their bodies touching each other
holding hands in the moonlight
there was silence between them
so profound was their love for each other
they needed no words to express it
and so they sat in silence on a park bench
with their bodies touching
holding hands in the moonlight
finally she spoke
"do you love me, john?" she asked
"you know i love you, darling" he replied
"i love you more than tongue can tell
you are the light of my life
my sun, moon, and stars
you are my everything
without you, i have no reason for being"
again, there was silence
as the two lovers sat on a park bench
their bodies touching
holding hands in the moonlight
once more, she spoke
"how much do you love me, john?" she asked
he answered, "how much do i love you?
count the stars in the sky
measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon
number the grains of sand on the seashore
impossible, you say?"

I suspect this line: it could get some gasoline shortest (?) May be: it could get some gasoline, Sure Test (some brand of gasoline)

Translation

@AxelWheeler You see, it's like this. There was a gasoline shortage and there were long lines for gas. So, some gasoline. Shortest line of all. HTH.

Does anyone know what "It" is in this piece?

The other big question for me is whether the "Two Lovers" part is meant sarcastically, over-the-top. I say it is. I have no real evidence except that it claims no words are necessary before launching into all those exaggerated expressions of love.

It stands for Einstein... Once Bob asked Christopher Knowles "Chris, who is Einstein" and he said "I don't know", and after some repetition of this question, Christopher wrote this "it could franky it could be john it could be very fresh and clean it could be a balloon . . ."
