Premium Member Dog Caught In a Net--

meandering thoughts
a hyperactive net prowls
after the spanner

woven holy cloth
a hyperactive dog prowls
barking in the night

The Pop-Star Plumber

Have you seen the part time plumber?
He plumbs in winter and a pop-star in summer
During a plumbing job, he will thrust out his spanner
Singing into it “Copacabana”

Premium Member She Dumped the Plumber

There was an accomplished agile plumber,
he could screw nut in bolt in deep slumber.
Wife felt his spanner placed right,
drove her sleep away each night.
She dumped him, reason he didn’t remember.

Plug a Poem In the Socket

I'm a planner I'm a scanner I'm a time warp spanner
and you better get outta my way
I can rap with the babies and the Baby Boom ladies
and I really got somethin to say

   I been lovin ,I been fightin, I been rainbow writin
and I got it all on the line
plug a poem in the socket ,if you really 
wanna rock it
it'll always come out in the rhyme

A Spanner In the Works

A spanner in the works

I have dislike of all royalty who stole the people's land
Their acolytes were given titles to ensure their loyalty.
Privileged aristocracy, the guardian of transformation
Modern days robber baron is a continuum to be sure
The people walk alongside gilded horse-drawn carriages
Cap-in-hand, wave flags and accept their lowly life.

A Stutter of Reality

Dickering aches December me,
tragedy squeaks in knotted knees.

Banana back bent in the sack,
paddywack foot arches
bone of a moan,
no bounce in this frozen morn.

Non-elastic, erratically rheumatic,
I need a mechanic, a spanner
to wrench upon
this brainless stammer,
this dither and shiver

or spark plugs to electrify
an out-of-tune mind
as it circles

behind
a reluctantly thawing
eye.

Happy Ending

Sweet young Prudence saved up thruppence for a liquorice stick which cost but tuppence and gave it a lick plus a penn'orth of sherbet for Herbert the love of her life hoping some day she'd be his wife but he drifted way then when at last she knew marriage prospects had passed our dear Pru' wed Ted instead amid gaiety and laughter and as two birds on a telephone wire they lived happily ever after

Premium Member The Right Tool For the Job

If I have a job to do I find a useful tool
For screwing in a screw I use a screwdriver
For banging in a nail I need a hammer
When I need something really hot I use a soldering Iron
When I want to remove wallpaper I use a stripper
If my tap is stuck and needs turning on I use a spanner
If I want to see sparks fly I use an electric screwdriver
If I want affection I head for my husband ….
He’s bound to have the right tool for the job

Premium Member Follow the Fire

Harken! blasts of thunder 
pressurised magma sears 
Pyroclastic hearts collapse
a spanner jams the gears

Distended fiery fissures 
augur unquantified fears
Cataclysms bring rupture 
down path’s not very clear

Aneurysms bursting veins 
popped drums burning ears
Brain function touch and go
haemorrhage out red tears

Earth ripping itself asunder 
black raw ground appears 
Man plugs his inner wounds 
holding on to love so dear

Eco-log-istics, and world climate resolutions.' Resultant scars on the earth would
Be a hostile intrusion, defacing and squandering available and sustainable resources..I point out the trampling

To arrest such desecration, resist in all
And any manner, be firm stand fast and
Into this machinery, lets throw every
Bloody spanner !
