Do you know if the original of the joke can be seen in Sumerian writing? (some picture). Also, do you think it could have been a pun?
About the interpretation, I myself understand only the:

The rest is a bit above my level. But check this alternative interpretation of this joke: https://twitter.com/abbyfheld/status/1501880993833054208
One student said it was a receipt for the sale of a cow. The prof said that was one real possibility. Another said it was a love poem. Prof agreed again. :shrug:
But my favorite translation disagreement is from the Epic of Gilgamesh, I think, where one man insists the proper translation of a line is “the lords of the land of the blazing rockets.”
Isn't this the plot of "Foucault's Pendulum?"
