Smooth Elevator Operator
I truly am a smooth operator 
When I let one loose in the elevator
If it’s only me there my air blows free
Have got my own detonator you see.

Able to let fly with such immense pride
And can play a fine tune from my backside
That...

The Printing Press Operator
The sound of the presses
   While they run at high speed
      The reporters and editor
         Trying to fill a town's need

The feel of fresh newsprint
   And the smell...

Excuse Me Operator
Excuse me operator, 

I think I’ve been disconnected,

To a neurotic world that's seemed to lose its senses,

A ceaseless quest of life questions,

Where are all of these transcending fairytales and esoteric answers?

I am feeling like it’s a foreboding leak of subliminal messages,

Declaring all what life isn’t...

Smooth Operator
He treads proudly towards his target
With his hair immaculately cut to style
As if he is fresh from a barber shop
-You should know he is up to something.

He is always adorned with sumptuous jewellery
And a pungent smell of a cologne
Oh, how pleasing he smells...
-He is up...

Premium Member The Tannoy Operator
This free verse was written from an agnostic point of view 
so may appear biased, against organised religions
I assure you this is not my intention, and it is simply a poem 
For the record, I have told lies in the past, and still do occasionally...

Uncouth Operator
*This poem is sung to the music of Sade's seminal song, "Smooth Operator."


Intro:

He’s ranting with a spiteful hurl,
and taunting with a choler heart
Spewing crude statements, making lewd comments
He’s hated in seven languages
Zircon nights and silicon lights, sinthetic high in the sky
Hades help him, when he...

Operator, Would You Help Me Make This Call?
Why can’t I dial the last number?
I have tried to call you all day
       but my finger just won’t 
                   ...

Smooth Operator
Smooth Operator
it was late in the evening & on the street
had my body kit waxed on my Camry
fenders had a slasp of silver so did the rims
stero was blasting to my favorite song
Like Michael Jackson & Stevie B
rolled into my neighborhood bar many looked out...

Hello Operator
Where are your upstairs friends?
The coffee break girls;
Credit card tight,
Newly coifed,
Numerously heeled
And 
Playing a little material bridge.

Where are the elevator girls?
Those check booked cynical
Fifteen minute friends.
The boss kissers;
Union mothered now
Skipping rope in third grade circles.

Are you still upstairs big time,
Afraid of that ground floor?
Tight backed
polished...

The Crane Operator
Across the river there’s a crane
That’s 30 stories high,
The operator like
A Lego man up in the sky.

As loads are lifted in the air
And gently set in place,
I wish that I could clearly see
That operator’s face.

I know I would be terrified 
But likely, he is not.
I...

The Tour Operator Is Crazy
The tour operator is crazy
In the name of wildlife safari
We are 
In the midst of
Ferocious tigers, bisons, hyenas

We planned to share
Some poetry and painting
For the forthcoming examination

What to do
To be with the beasts
Or with the books

We are at a loss...

Operator
I share with you, what I know.
I learned away, my love did show.
In times dis-pare, Frustration stares.
Anger builds and minds are filled,
With thoughts... and like the wind,
Given room to begin again.

Pressure builds the blood flow fast,
The ride is on... hold steady your last,
Breath of air....
