Best Maintenance Poems


High Maintenance Woman

A stunning woman, so beautiful and polite,
But causing concern, I'm thinking twice,
My girl puts my credit card to much use
Tantamount to severe financial abuse,
Although, I do enjoy her other vice.

Maintenance
There once was a wife who wanted her husband
to maintain every single thing in the house.
"Maintain the plumbing why don't you?" she nagged
And on and on she nags, from sun up 'til sun down.
"Where are my red satin faux fur slippers, she cranked
in unison with, "Oh, bring me Scruffy now!" and "Let's
not forget my Pierre' water boiled with lemon zinger tea.'

Then one day the husband retorted, "I'll maintain the plumbing
as the toilet paper situation needs to improve greatly around here."
And as his voice trails off..."I won't let the door hit me in the a**...
and you'll get
Maintenance!"

MAINTENANCE


You maintain your house to keep It clean

You maintain your car so Its pristine

You maintain your physique, by keeping slim

You maintain your muscles In the gym

But the most important maintenance of all

Is to maintain your mind with positive thoughts!!!

Call the Maintenance Men

I’ve lost it. I’m exhausted.
 I can’t handle another day of these
 Auditory hallucinations. Doors creaking
Open Voices carrying around basins. 
 These days with no sleep
are starting to 
Become costly,
 to my overall health.
Wait, do I need help? 
 
      Hold up! 

 Grab a wrench!
 grab your tool belt!
We’ve got to get this girl back to 
Stellar mental health !
Wait, I’m not a machine?
I said to myself 
They said it’s okay ma’am 
We’re trained in these sorts
Of matters better than anybody else
Feeling stressed you say, take a shot
Of vodka while we take a look at you 
Right away 
A little elbow grease and your brain
Won’t be on its knees anymore 
You’ll be back on your feet in no time 
Miss, we  can’t miss with our new  
And improved stationery kits.
Just relax and you’ll improve
It’s not like you’re the only one
Going through this.

Maintenance Culture

Maintenance  culture 
People and culture 
Like bee and honey 
Too much energy spent 
In portraying a culture 
Well believed as a way of life
In places

Maintenance culture 
A culture far from humanity 
Is a failed culture 
A culture that promote humanity 
Is worth an everlasting try and try again

Maintenance culture 
We need to preserve our history 
We need to preserve our Hero's past gone oh Africa 
We need to preserve and maintain 
All values of our accessors 
They never laboured in vain
So we are to adore and keep 
Their legacy a honour 

Maintenance culture 
Africans now I write to you all
Where is the maintenance culture 
We once value
Now people don't care 
So many don't even know their root 
As an African 
Our school don't even teach us 
How important is to maintain 
And preserve our resources
Is like we are just supporters
Looking so confuse and so scard
A lot we believe we can't Do   
Oh African why have  thou fallen
For babylon is and must always 
Come after us

Maintenance culture 
With out Africa I just wonder 
What will be of the world 
Before and now 
Every one are friends to Africa 
That makes me wonder 
Who is an enemy as it is not 
Written but the scars now we 
Bear speaks a lot 

Maintenance culture 
Oh African we need to boast our 
Ways 
We need not change to other ways 
That defiles our dignity
A lot we have
 a lot we got to maintain 
For already a lot we lost 
So where is our maintenance culture 
We once showed the world back 
Then the days of our ancestors
Now why do we don't care 
Destroying our selves 
Fight and devaluing each other 
Was not our culture 
So now all you and I can see 
Is a down fall that invite hunters 
To devour all we got to maintain 

Maintenance culture 
If you are an African 
I pledge  you help maintain our worth
If you are not an African I pledge 
Do Africa no harm 
For already is enough all this 
Evil shower around my continent 
From out and with in 
So as we all see we need a lot 
Hands together oh brethren to successfully 
Bring back our 
Maintenance culture

High Maintenance Babe

Today
you look
like a peanut 
assaulted
in a bad neighborhood...

Back in time
you dreamed to date
Brad Pitt
but he was taken
from Angelina Jolie
a true man eater
then you hooked-up
with a hairy biker
a body builder
who is about to explode
like a thanksgiving turkey
feed in steroids and cocaine
like a pig in an all you can eat
garbage joint
who goes crazy
and beats the crap out of you
at night
and early in the morning...

See
it's white snow
but dogs poop 
on it...

Love and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

(Rhyming Senryu)

Cold and careful hands
Dismantle love’s elements
Methodically

The eye detecting
Fragile fractured copper threads
Dispassionately

Concentrating fire
Melting metal, soldered wire
Mending circuitry

Testing, one, two, three
The current, interrupted
Now set flowing free

How beautifully
Cool flux and hot flame restore
Conductivity

Love’s analogy

On First Looking Into Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

To Eamon 

I followed you down that long straight road
Stretched through plain under sky
You with your boy and your bicycle
Me, with Despair in my stare and my sigh.
And we came to the Dante-esque crossroads
And watched as ghosts in machines drove by.

I had seen, of course, this show before
But not with you by my side
And the loneliness was lessened
With two caught on life’s cold neap tide.
Two sheep in the false wolf’s clothing
Of an alienating pride.

Trekking miles of running blacktop
Not knowing if to or from
Just keeping present with the moments
Of time coming and time gone.
And the twisted things that the intellect
Poured its poisoned moonlight on.

We stopped at a dusty layby
High and bare upon a bluff
And I felt suddenly false and foolish 
Caught up in your family stuff.
Like a dog around a carcass
Who cannot eat enough.

Oh blindly I adored you
Your machinelike cold control
As you calmly dissected other lives
In a way that showed no soul.
And I thus refused what God had dropped 
In my Buddhist begging bowl.

When we chilled out at the ranchhouse
I simply couldn’t see
That intellectualising
Was not where we needed to be.
That we cut ourselves with the scalpel
That was meant to set us free.

We were miles from that messy pump the heart
That overrules the head
When talk comes dark and throaty
Or gesture rules instead.
And the soft look of submission
Says the things that can’t be said.

O it’s hard to track the wolf man
Who hates being spied upon
And who when he sees it’s over
Thinks it’s easy to move on.
For the present’s lean and hungry
And the road leads from Babylon.

Yes it’s hard to see the wolfman
Ever watchful for the spy
Tho’ sometimes you will catch him
Under the fitful moonlit sky
On a road forever straightened
In his wide and suffering eye.

High Maintenance

High heeled leather pumps; the best will only do
In all different styles and colors; the most brilliant of hues
Gorgeous diamond jewelry; a temptation not to resist
Hone my very essence and surely enhance my wrists

Managing hair appointments; a color and highlight is a must
Angelic to the naked eye; beauty is what we lust
Imperfections not visible; expensive makeup applied to disguise
Neiman Marcus and Marshal Fields; fully stocked with vital supplies
Tanning bed awaits; a special bronzer first I must get
Enriched with vitamins and minerals; top shelf purchase let’s not forget
Nylons hosiery and lingerie; Victoria’s Secret now exposed
A variety of silk and satins; frilled with lacy garnished bows
New car smell in the air; a fast sporty convertible is what I seek
Candy apple red with adorning leather seats; all which I bespeak 
Exhausting idea of being a perfect wife; beauty's the weakness on this path of life

Maintenance of the New Machine

Well written
researched
To make aware
Issues that its
Audeice needed
Words for definition
and clarity
Respecting all in its
consideration
Keeping in mind
Evolution change
and replacment
It details the cost
Of production citing
By admiration of
Those who reeinvented
Certain processes
To cause collaberations
And production
It created a need of
Its products and processes
By offering products with dual
Purpose
Taking laugage from everyday
Processes and combining
them together with making
The buyer less relying on
Ways that had now been
Changed by new technologies
Making it easier to work harder
In different ways
Giving new meaning to how
Things are done and the
Manner they are done
Innovactions and processes
That makes work life more
Tolerable
Putting together people
Who want to learn with
People who understand
People use
Moral and ethicail processes
To inform, teach, convey
And manage.
Replacing equipment before it breaks
Allows technical reliance
But its discord is seen
In untimley breakdowns,
These new ways account for
Both of these processes to
Help manage and control
Segments were alot of people
Rely on mangers to assign and
Reassign workers so
The silk smooth running engine
Of business won't be out of sync
When the cogs and wheels
Needs replacment
