Short Servicing Poems

The wife is an Uber striver
Servicing the Nine to Fiver
The back seat's so worn
The cops suspect p..n
They're looking for a screwdriver...

Of what use is time
If it’s consumed by passion
Servicing others
Servitude that drowns your dream
While you toil and save and pay

Summer has slammed its last car door
Its a final goodbye year
your ailing cat and dog have both passed on
You've sold your campervan
strange it broke  the day after sale
You've promised not to get another pet
The clocked in hours tickle to a close
Your car needs a MOT
The long stretch between home and servicing...

I AM VISTA

i am artificial
i am disposable
i am programmable
i am binary
i am machine
i am obsolete

i am error
i am problematic
i am incompatible
i am vista

on the faraway screen

i do not like this energy
i exist too nervously
 the monitor is watching me
i am overdue for servicing...

There was a young man named Rajid Dutta
Who lived in the city of Calcutta 
Got a flash from a girl
Who also gave a twirl
Embarrassed he fell face down in the gutta'

A grumpy old cheesmaker called Mulqueen
Was servicing his cheese making machine 
He replaced some worn out bands
It fired up took off his hands 
Now he's in big demand at Halloween....

In my room with its broken door
is a vast array of U3A nomenclature
Admitting ones age is a drag
A vast collection of antique SLR'S stands
Just needing the servicing of fandango light

A coach trip awaits
were I could make a friend
to share my interests
like J'aime Francais
and Lloyds Park walks
almost being half a centurion Croydonite...
