Melodies XLIX; From An Old Missile Manual---Maintenance Of Valved Cocks

The valved cocks must be

manipulated very

delicately to

release fluid fully for

a satisfactory blast.

 

Kyakuchuu

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The last word of the title, a noun, refers to a mechanical device in the delivery of rocket fuel for combustion.  Anyone is free to interpret the Tanka in another way, but a profane or vulgar reading would be a blatant misinterpretation.
