Phantom Operator
Are we testing open waters?
I never should have stationed there
We were not prepared
Through the shame and sacrifice,
I was getting there
All we know is shelter,
Survival,
Yet we were unprepared
Mark the way
through tunnels we mistaked for urgent care
No one’s dying on my watch
If our fathers were here, they’d tell us not to stop
If

The Crane Operator
Across the river there’s a crane
That’s 30 stories high,
The operator like
A Lego man up in the sky.
As loads are lifted in the air
And gently set in place,
I wish that I could clearly see
That operator’s face.
I know I would be terrified
But likely, he is not.
I cannot fathom how he even
Reached that sky-high spot.
Yet he

Smooth Elevator Operator
Smooth Elevator Operator
I truly am a smooth operator
When I let one loose in the elevator
If it’s only me there my air blows free
Have got my own detonator you see.
Able to let fly with such immense pride
And can play a fine tune from my backside
That is until others enter the lift
I tell them someone else

Thy Operator Lord
The Operator Lord dwells in thy status,
With a golden grin after a huge hiatus
The flute bearer’s philosophical posture,
Inspires me to compose on His gesture
The Creator of this universe-expanding
Benefactor of all pleasures rewarding
He being thy favorite divinity
Let me compose with infinite clarity
The superfect picture of the God supreme

The Tannoy Operator
This free verse was written from an agnostic point of view
so may appear biased, against organised religions
I assure you this is not my intention, and it is simply a poem
For the record, I have told lies in the past, and still do occasionally
The tannoy operator
And so it came to pass at

Uncouth Operator
*This poem is sung to the music of Sade's seminal song, "Smooth Operator."
Intro:
He’s ranting with a spiteful hurl,
and taunting with a choler heart
Spewing crude statements, making lewd comments
He’s hated in seven languages
Zircon nights and silicon lights, sinthetic high in the sky
Hades help him, when he falls
Crass carat life, grifter boy
He crawls in space with hubris

The Tour Operator Is Crazy
The tour operator is crazy
In the name of wildlife safari
We are
In the midst of
Ferocious tigers, bisons, hyenas
We planned to share
Some poetry and painting
For the forthcoming examination
What to do
To be with the beasts
Or with the books
We are at a loss

Smooth Operator
it was late in the evening & on the street
had my body kit waxed on my Camry
fenders had a slasp of silver so did the rims
stero was blasting to my favorite song
Like Michael Jackson & Stevie B
rolled into my neighborhood bar many looked out at my car
I was fixing to put one on slamming

Excuse Me Operator
Excuse me operator,
I think I’ve been disconnected,
To a neurotic world that's seemed to lose its senses,
A ceaseless quest of life questions,
Where are all of these transcending fairytales and esoteric answers?
I am feeling like it’s a foreboding leak of subliminal messages,
Declaring all what life isn’t and it's misleading specifications.
Just a strategic game of sacrifice and

Smooth Operator
He treads proudly towards his target
With his hair immaculately cut to style
As if he is fresh from a barber shop
-You should know he is up to something.
He is always adorned with sumptuous jewellery
And a pungent smell of a cologne
Oh, how pleasing he smells...
-He is up to something.
He has a wondrous smile
-that is supposed to melt
