Hermetic seals:
“Steward! Our meals!”
They honked and clapped
And felt quite trapped.

And Noah’s boys
Make lots of noise
About the charge
To board this barge.

Note: the card conflates Noah’s Ark (Old Testament) and the Advent
calendar (Christianity, since the nineteenth century), both involving
periods of waiting.
