Not Without a Washer

Something minute had been carefully tucked away, it was a nut
Got loose, rolled helplessly away, had no direction afraid, she shut
Her eyes, and slowly rolled towards a destined force,
An eager bolt nearby bolt gave her the eye, she thought to pause,
She looked at him said hi, but continued to roll and to strut,
The bolt flirted outrageously with this shiny nut, that felt
Maybe he should be bolted onto her, but quick action was now due
The feeling in his gut sent urgent message, he whispered to
the nut, that next door, there was an empty little hut, she thought a bit
But excited so surprised, she rolled her eyes, was not about to quit,
They tumbled and bumped and arrived at the hut together, at ease
but excited, she coyly asked, may we use a washer please.

Can't do what we used to be able to do as quick any more. But get round it slower. Watched Jennifer Anistons and Ben Affleck last movie on Netflix, a little James bondish but fun. They also are showing their age. We age. They age. Awesome write John, blessings and hugs Jennifer

Jenn, this is so coy and witty and romantic, with imaginative personification and creative innuendo. Love the slowly rolling towards a destined force, and your perfect ending... just the right amount of humour to finish off your little tale of mutual attraction. Going in my faves... hugs and blessings ~ John

Thank-you Lindsay had fun writing this poem, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and it gave you a chuckle. I think Australia and South Africa have the same seasons but our summer only really in effect starts in December, however, the weather is so erratic temperatures are ranging from 20 degrees centigrade to 36 degrees! Hope you are keeping well Lindsay and thank-you always for your constant support and always awesome comments. hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

or maybe, a comma (is it sperm-shaped?) missing after "he" (in him, the bolt?)

Hi Anil, put the comma, just for you my friend. Blessings, Jennifer

Jenn, hate to disturb this naughty scene, but one too many words (in just this line): "next door said he there is a tiny hut,/". Your gift of a naughty poem is so so clean, amen. I will always carry a washer in my pocket and a screw). Luv Ya, Ereine

Thanks Michelle, a very apt and lovely comment - guess the nut had to show some decorum even if it was only a washer. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Eyes rolling slowly towards a destined force, what a line Jennifer, I thought your poem was taking a different dark direction, but your sneaky brilliant twist, leads into fathomable innuendo, can we wear a washer please, great innovative writing, cheers David
