DIY Survival
DIY Survival
Listen to this rhyme I say,
and be prepared every day.
In the forest you may go,
weather shine or weather snow.
If your lost within the trees,
don’t run around like a sleaze.
Don’t tromp about and shake your head,
for if you do you will be dead.
Stop and sit you whipperbate,
start a fire and then just wait.
Make it smokey

Cosmic Winks and DIY Inks
In the workshop of my waking hours,
I am the maker of my own day,
Crafting moments with a DIY attitude,
Twisting fate's threads with hands unbound.
At 6 AM, I pick up my tools,
Coffee grounds and ambition,
Mixing the elixir of caffeinated dreams,
Stirring in the alchemy of determination.
The clock ticks, a relentless metronome,
11:11 winks, an angelic muse,
As if the

Diy Diplomacy
Threats of force seemed a sterling idea
Especially in light of Crimea
But you’re gonna get trolled
And the tanks gonna roll
When diplomacy comes from IKEA

Another Fine Mess
The colors were all tangled and wrapped with black tape.
They were bent and shoved in an unforgiving shape.
What was I to think or how to know which to cut?
The raw surface was rough like a dry roasted nut.
Oh where is Papa when I seek advice and wits?
Didn’t he teach to do for myself and not

Diy Have You Any Tools I Need 2 Fix
Someone reached out
and asked me
Have you any tool's ?
A question to which i replied
Are you trying to be funny
or facetious
Why apart from me the greatest
tool of them all
So much so it's become my nickname
As i am both a spanner and a nut
and the box
People dig out to use when
in need of release and

Diy Surgery
rotten molars unnerved her moribund hunger for living on
she extracted the pain with blunt scalpels pliers and hammer
damaged her smile as well but with the cornerstones removed
in the aftermath of destruction nothing was left but a stammer
loops of denial and self-incrimination established more pain
she tore her heart out under the shelter of drugs and booze
abuse

Diy Factory
My factory makes factories;
I make them all day by the score:
a flat pack kit, instructions clear -
you leap in through the floating door
and build that factory from in-
side out. And tell the world that your
new factory makes factories.
They're selling fast - there's more and more...
Reviews are good; I've got five stars
(if someone slates me, please

Diy For a Carousel of Dreams
Covid 19 leaves restless kiddies with parents’ imagination at home
So why not create fantasy in the lounge for a resilient pleasure dome
Grannies’ chest of drawers comes alive as a goal with lace for a net
No offside rule here as she watches from above and hedges a bet
Please clear all those trinkets and porcelain figures from

- Because I'M Worth It -
My image was dull drab and dreary
(It hadn’t be changed for a while)
I thought that my hair had potential
... It was time I updated my style
But the last time that I’d had a haircut
I hadn’t been pleased with my “do”
I’d lost half my hair – though I’m certain I'd said
“Not too much

Diy Wood Working
my thoughts
we're hardly
to bed her
but better
to say to
create a
smile
but then not
knowing of
that singular
trap of trying
to truly yes
seduce
her
that it was she
that took me
not swindled
but whittled
my erect
branch
to a
toothpick
