escalator got the last word
are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I cannot even outthink a road grader.
I am not a professor or super market demonstrator.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I doubt I can put cheese on a cracker, said McFrator.
I am dumber than you are, said his sister, Mater.
I do not even understand how to peel a tomater.

On the Move
One goes up one goes down,
Many feet trample it,
Hands on the rail,
Bag on your arm,
It will never tire,
But !!! It could break down,
It's modern engineering,
Many places have them,
It's an escalator.

Trapped On An Escalator
During a power outage, some people got trapped on an escalator
Sounds silly to me but hopefully, they'll all be rescued later
But the result is a trauma
Best advice is a sauna
Come to think of it, it's a lot better than on an elevator

Angels On An Escalator
angels on an escalator
moving cloud silent
towards a sunburst crack
in a dark winters sky.
appearing, white feather wings
golden halos glinting
as in pictures on gallery walls.
old masters saw them
I am sure now
They tried to help us all
because there they are
lined up step over step
reaching for heaven.

Excavator V Escalator
Excavator V Escalator
Escalator, to the Top it puts
Excavator rives and ruts;
and it effectively undercuts!
One is a symbol of Mirth
Another; symbol of wrath
and destruction of Earth!
Escalator is a symbol or Fort
Paradigm of Human effort
the other; of bloody sport!
But most, Irony of this Writ
is that one is pretty neat
While another is full if ****!
So,

Escalator of Faith
You find yourself ever climbing,
walking up the moving stair.
The effort, vein, and ever tiring.
Your feet hurt, beyond compare.
But, in the distance is the reason
for the efforts, for your pain.
You try real hard, to move up closer,
instead you are, pushed back, again.
Lift yourself up to try again,
stepping ever, so carefully.
But, the same occurs, again, now,
knocking down,
