As I walk around,

I find:

2 windows flawless with absolutely no bugs, spiders, creatures of any kind

2 hanging blinds perfectly dusted and cleaned

1 red toolbox entirely organized by wrenches, hammers, and screwdrivers

1 blue toolbox with little sliding doors utterly sorted by nuts, bolts, and nails

2 shelves...

He waited 
Under fluorescent lighting
The kind that highlighted
His salt and pepper hair
It was almost 5:30
Quitting time 
But he didn’t have to worry about that anymore
Today was his last day
The people in the office took him out to lunch
Had a round of drinks
Opened a few cards
Hugged...

I Hate Home Depot!

I hate Home Depot!
Just the sight of that
orange and white sign
makes my stomach turn.

However I know every
square inch of that store,
I’ve spent
thousands of hours there
as a paying customer.

I know what all is in the
garden section for all of the seasons.
I know where...

TALKING TO ME

Do you ever get the feeling that inanimate objects are talking to you?
Sometimes I do, not often, but sometimes.

Like trees that seem to be murmuring in an unknown language 
somehow suggesting a meaning to me.

And clouds when billowed tell me of some distant...

Vague words lead poets to heady heights far yonder
If we, like Wordsworth,   seek a path to’ wander.’
But words there are whose power is less prolific,
Dwindling  fast the more they are specific. 
Sententious and meaningful are rhymes
Which great  poets have utilized at...

Zoo Drop
Terracotta robots zapping rodents. 
Ongoing Zagreb building projects. 
Witches, milk floats and Vauxhall cars in Bill's head. 
You got Tonsillitis from licking prostitutes’ rancid toes. 

Towel used for a century; six frayed threads on its length. 
Novel bus design; the driver drives from upstairs....

My hubby is a techno genius; he can fix anything that was made, at any time.
Yesterday he fixed my vacuum, for the hundredth time, from Nineteen-sixty-one.
And guess who was watching intently: yes, our friendly basement Trolls, of course.
Amazed by gadgets, screwdrivers, and such, love from...

PALADIN

Expert but understated taciturn lone hero
Sherlock Holmes fiddling with a violin solo
Then James Bond  then Richard Boone
Then Terminator and Bruce Lee (died too soon)
But today’s hero is the computer guy
Who can fix your machine easy as pie.
Unspeaking, he arrives in casual jeans, with pliers
Small...

stubborn at the most
unfortunate moments
and quick with a
flabbergasted wit

he ambushes me from
the alleys in his mind
from behind
where four strikes
are uncommon
and frequently
commented upon

let's try to ignore the
inane flattery and take
into consideration
three screwdrivers deep
the fantastic premise this
is situated upon

apart-heid
has rendered my fat
and substance unfit
avocados are for brains
still,...

"... what I said was, The Tardis... and I'm the heir..."

Much more on the inside than you could ever imagine...

and Siriusly sweet with a passion

The juice in my Driver

is a River in tune

"... light speed isn't quite 

what you envision..."

but it's faster than a broom

I'd...

What a special time of year....
 I,Santa and my minion of elves
making a gazillion toys for all
the giddy girls and boys.

Just what are some of the things they
will find under the tree? Let's see !!

Colorful cars that go vroom vroom
and twin engine planes that zoom.

Backyard Mechanic
by Bob Moore © 2019

I’m a guy of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, a Ford man, or a Holden or two
we didn’t bother with garages, if the car broke, we knew what to do
We only needed a spanner, a shifter would fit all the nuts
another...
