LOCATION – LOG
A ship with a louche reputation Was stuck in an icy location. The captain swigged grog, Then wrote in his log: "We'll freeze, and then burn in damnation!"

(It goes a bit against the grain, but “five point oh eight centimeters“ just didn’t scan...)

Ah, you just beat me to it! Here's what I was going to post:
An inveterate rocket inventor Who worked at the Johnson Space Center Denied, with a frown, That Wernher von Braun (Whom Hitler admired) was his mentor.

Some fish are aggressive and bite, And some have a large appetite. Aquarium keepers Are apt to cry "Jeepers!" When watching them struggle and fight.

Our forebears considered it smart To bowdlerize great works of art, With boundless belief In the anguish and grief That comes from impureness of heart.

One coach used to rally his team In terms that were pretty extreme. To ramp up the tension, He'd frequently mention The Devil, and give a loud scream.

From a strictly religious perspective, God's permanent state is objective. But if God doesn't change, It seems rather strange, For how could our prayers be effective?

I have taken the liberty of changing 'lubricate' to 'lubricant'...
To 'sabotage' meant throwing clogs In devices, to clog up the cogs. Some Luddites would spoil Any lubricant oil With beer, or the blood of dead frogs.

A blend of tequila and whiskey Can make partygoers quite frisky. Their sense of release Marks a tenfold increase In their blood flow, which may be quite risky.

On seeing a haystack in Devon, A bard wrote: "I know there's a heaven!" Alas! Before long, World war proved him wrong. (He wrote it in 1911.)
