Ah, but you see, most roads and airport runways cross a patch of clay here and there, making them The Asmo's. So shipping, it be free, yes? :D

Combined sentence. Everything before the last comma is a statement. Everything after is a confirmation call. For instance, "The sky is blue, yes?" in this context means that according to me, the sky is blue, but I invite opposing views.

I always thought that Asmo was a sort of "my way or the highway" type god. No?
Not at all. The Asmo just has a knack of turning highways into his ways, but in order to do so, he must be presented with a highway to dismantle and re-make in His gray image. :D
...There IS a difference. The Asmo proclaims it so.

So then shipping is only free on those roads or runways that cross paths over clay...therefore shipping is not always free.

Ah, but there is
fine print, you see:
If something lays against the clay
Or against that, which down the line
Gain contact with His Grayness may
It's Asmo's 'til the end of time
So you see, if it touches clay or something which touches clay or something which touches something which touches clay and so on and so on, The Asmo layeth rightful claim to it. According to The Book(tm).

Technically, there is space between everything that "touches" and therefore nothing actually touches anything as space is just space. A void.
Therefore shipping cannot be free as the Asmo(s) proclaims it to be...therefore Asmo(s) proclamation is useless and Asmo(s) cannot be god.

...Which is where the verse about that comes in to play. The space between molecules is defined as a part of The Gray Realm, and that is already Asmo's:
A Kingdom, born from empty space,
The Realm of Grayness stretches out
It spans the matter and the waves -
All things within, and all without

Oooh, I like the pretty poems about Asmo. I want to do one!
There once was a god named Asmo
Whose favorite movie was Orgasmo
He was lumpy and grey
And always got his way
And had coffee in his veins instead of plasmo.
;D
(What? Asmo is hard to rhyme!)

To this, The Book(tm) answers as follows:
A can of worms, it
is a can
Thus,
can can be an
is sometimes
If Asmo says that something
can,
Then when it
is, it's no surprise

Therefore the asmo(s) "proclamations" depend on further investigation.
Well, His predictions usually come true. For instance, there was something about Tank splitting The Gray Tome talk off the rest of this thread... But it is an obscure prophecy, not too well known.
That said, the last two lines state pretty clearly that what The Asmo proclaims to be a can is a can, thus, can and is are in this context synonimous.

Is there a text regarding 'ususally come true' asmo(s) proclamations?

Of course. The Book(tm) is eternal and therefor has answers to infinitely many questions. But that is the story for another time.

Well, it is an obscure prophecy after all. May have been misinterpreted. Will require some fine-comb reading after its fulfillment to assess where the interpretation failed, of course, but that is the way of prophecies, it is.

Oh great Asmo I bow down and worship before whatever you move around on, and exult in your wisdom.
Small and grey and almost round
Motionless upon the ground
Cheerful mostly when he feels
His bum against the potters wheel

Oh no he didn't!!!!
Notice I did some Fox News editing.
Yes! The pottery wheel verse! The message is, apparently, spreading. :D
Rolling ranks of storm cloud grey
Fueled by coffee
Running rampant through Oslo
It's a haiku! ;D
Not bad... But The Tome is written in a different style. :D
I'll keep working on it. So far I've done an Asmo limerick, and an Asmo haiku. Maybe next I'll try my hand at an Asmo villanelle. ;)
I suppose we could branch out a bit, like all the other religions... ???
My Asmo Villanelle:
Asmo is coming with barbarian bands
To strike from the world licorice and melon
The world is clay in his hands
Shouting for coffee and spouting off demands
Tromping muddy feet, whoopin' and yellin'
Asmo is coming with barbarian bands
The grey horde marches to his commands
From London to Tokyo to the Straits of Magellan
The world is clay in his hands
Cities fall and as his empire expands
Overrun with his thugs and felons
Asmo is coming with barbarian bands
His name is dread across the lands
So you'd better be buying what Asmo is sellin'
The world is clay in his hands
With a savage charm no one withstands
They fall before him, quakin' and quellin'
Asmo is coming with barbarian bands
The world is clay in his hands
