Summary/Abstract: The first of the poems, a parody of Carmen Buranum 191 (Aestuans intrinsecus ira vehementi), emphasizes the advantages of unmarried life. The other one consists of two more stanzas added to the Polish sea shanty Morskie opowieści (Sea Tales), sung to the melody of What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor? Anna Maciejewska's first supplement to that shanty was printed in the previous issue of "Meander".
