Gatsby and Standin 2

Agents Gatsby and Standin hadn't done much,
Just go to Super Fresh for groceries and such.
They knew they were in an excitement slump,
But weren't sure how to get out... unless they jump!

So they looked to the window of the room
And towards that same window did they zoom.
Out they crashed with reckless abandon,
When Gatsby turned and said to Standin,

"Do you realize what we've just done?
We may as well shot ourselves with a gun.
We freaking jumped out of the 31st floor.
We're about to die, need I say more?"

Standin looked to his friend in surprise,
Studying the fear in Gatsby's eyes.
Wasn't he a man of science and fancy,
Who could save their lives and do a little dance-y?

Gatsby soon realized their only chance,
"Standin, use your voice! Perchance
Its greatness will save our butts!
Then maybe we'll go for sherbets?"

And so as the 10th floor went by
Standin shouted out, with a great cry,
"Hey world, listen to my voice!
Also, I enjoy reading James Joyce!"

I still don't quite understand this part.
Gatsby and Standin were saved by a shopping cart.
It flew in from the east and caught them mid-fall,
But to the pair of friends, it wasn't exciting at all.

"Gatsby, we're still in an excitement slump!
I thought the only way out, you said, was jump!"
"Standin, amigo, you can't yet doubt me.
That was just insufficient velocity."

So Gatsby went on with sciency science stuff
To give the next jump's speed a great buff.
And soon they jumped from the Statue of Liberty,
Having fun again, ignoring the rules of safety.
