Fixer Upper
Having lived in multiple ports
Comingling with people of various sorts
Living in luxury or existing in squalor
Coffers full or down to last dollar
In town after town one constant remained
Perhaps unnoticed to the eyes less trained
In areas it seemed that inherited blight
With hardly the cash to keep on a light
An Abode a stiff breeze from

The Fixer
O' woe, begone betwixt machine,
Breathe clowns galore this Halloween,
Lay tricks played game, device for fools,
Be sprockets, chains, and things learn I,
What need be fixed, of me, they vie,
Deny me naught borne bag of tools.

The 'Fixer' Got 'Fixed'
Written By: D. Collins 4/9/2018
The New York feds came in kicking in doors.
Frisking, then putting them down on the floor.
Snatching evidence and just about everything.
It just doesn't look good, from what I am seeing.
The "Fixer" got "Fixed" by the U.S. Attorney.
Trump quickly realized he may see a jury.
When did a raid become an "attack

The Fixer
I'm known as the fixer
The collector of broken dreams
Setting the pieces like a puzzle
I put gold between the seams
All your thoughts within my reach
I look deep within your mind
That's where the hopes and dreams hide
What I seek I'm sure to find
Dreams you thought impossible
Abandoned to yesterday
Come to life with a single thought
With a whisper

The Fixer
“The Fixer”
While clearing gutters of the autumn leaves
I was pushed by a wintery stiff breeze
Falling from ladder, by freak circumstance
Crumpling into flatness by haphazard chance
I felt a beer can directly under me
Memory of him, forever would be
For my Grandfather had tossed it there last
Discovering it flat, from days past
From bikes and cars,

: for the loss of arm function etc
Visualize in eye of mind,
corroded wires, bad connection kind,
see em flowing from your brain,
hard to use, heat up the flame,
see a new wire in your head,
copper wires there instead,
see the corrosion go away,
copper wires are better hey,
see new wires a burning bright,
copper glowing in the night,
see the

The Fixer
The Fixer was called, summoned by song
He hears the plea and finishes his mead
He heads to the barn loads up the cart
Feeds the horses and calls to his wife
She readily makes a meal,to get thru the night
For he is the fixer, he fixes all things
An relentless skill, without any end
His lute In hand , a

The Fixer
Everyone’s got a problem
Responsibility falls on me to solve them
Becoming a weight not easily carried
A heavy feeling that I’ve since buried
When it should surface I become unstable
Punching the walls until my hands are un-able
Echoing claps of my fists hitting the wood
Resonating pain through my bones as I stood
So share all of your issues
I’m

Fixer
I am a fixer; I know this of me.
I wish I could fix everything I see.
My dream is to have all the answers,
Along with defeating all cancers,
You see, I know, how I will die.
Only if fixed, I’d be able to deny,
My genealogy, one of old age,
The other is cancer, in a rage,
Everyone ends; their life
