Always Keep a Corkscrew, Lighter, and Calculator

These are the days of haunted, rented house
 
Of the technology of service
 
Of riding complete with ease
 
How the program shapes destiny
 
 
 
Still you must carry
 
The necessary implements
 
You never know what you may encounter
 
Down the road
 
You never know
 
Who may provide an answer
 
In the crazy mist of tumultuous days
 
 
 
A dull great man 
 
Bereft of calculus once told me
 
its better to have a corkscrew
 
Though always,
 
You should use a lighter
