Plank or Axle

Plank or axle Poem Lionel Derbyshire Two lad's halted child And men mature bolted out One chose the plank The other the axle They laboured hard For the slog they had to do On commission They sweated all the year's And ripened old. They fathered two a child. Their offspring Two boys energized After going out of school And in a rut .. One started doing things Ready on how to put Bread on the table The other took The drug's And lazed about His mother's house. The day before Two lass stared A mirror And had to choose Upon a apron or hairdo The pinny lass Lived a happy husband life And fizzled like soda The fussy lass In the dim Struggled all her life. Their cub's Two young men made One a plank box For the dead The other loaded The mass on his axle One buried young One laughed all the time. Either plank or axle Men has arm's Arms and the man Amen ! Constructed and manufactured To make and assemble Read the proverbs The probity of good proginy. Or The Cain and Able But a gauntlet can happen in the chronicle There can be taunt and struggle On how to make a living One can carry a load Many times when on a bump One would curse and split Obvious He who does .. wins He who does not is lost Either Plank or axle Activate then start What you born to do.
