The Electrician Without A License
There’s an
Energy tag on my big toe
“Zapped to death:” it says
I’m a “John Doe”
A lightening bolt
Sent my soul a jolt
Into the next dimension
Permanently disabled and
Unable to be grounded, you see
Living life on the edge can be fatal
I don’t even know who I am
I

Different Means of Livelihood
The electrician’s pliers
Shields him from live wires
And a final baptism with Satan’s fires.
A mechanic’s spanner
Is his goddamned banner
Dropping him his daily manna.
At the carpenters shop is his treasured hammer
Which begins the entire drama,
Into existence hitting woodwork of Glamour
The judge’s wig
Adds to his being big,
Justice sometimes seeming an election to rig

I once knew an electrician who was terrified
While he was crossing wires he would be completely fried
Turns out he was safe as could be

He went out in the rain,
And always came home.
He went

Cheating Electrician
I cheated when I went to the electrician school.
I don't know what I'm doing, I am truly a fool.
I always screw up every house that I wire.
When the power is turned on, people scream "Fire!"
I connect 110 volt wires to 220 outlets and 220 to 110.
When people see my work, they never hire me again.
I

The Lady and the Electrician
There was a nice lady named Bess,
Her age not many could guess,
Because when she put on her face,
Her age did erase,
But left the bathroom a mell of a hess!
Her husband was an electrician for hire,
He sat on a generator and licked a wire,
He toathted hith tongue,
And burnt up hith bung,
And now he always thits fire!
