My transgressions clench...

She knew the moment he kissed her
That he could be the "Right" Mister
She needed a wrench
Because he was French
And Marmite greased his tongue-twister...

the anticipatory

Gut wrench
sweat stench
teeth clench
mind race
feet pace 
white face
hands shake
wide awake
cant take!...

....my mistake its not so bad....

the boiler is boiling, the coil is hot,
the pressure is 15, the system is not,
the pump is just kicking, the aquastat is shot,
and I'm just here thinking about the slip joint wrench!...

Rock bird
Paper nose
Cricket rose
Coconut ring
Pretzel watch
Olive wrench
Pillow oil
Car cloud
Strange occurrences
Happen at strange times
Creating strange things
All unusable

doused flame
ruined plans
created dismay 
within 
placed a 
wrench in 
future 
no hope
non at all
remains 
all dreams 
have been
derailed 
the emotional 
train has 
flew of a cliff
crash and burn
gone...

Beware the ol' Grinch, for it’s a cinch
Into your Christmas, he’ll throw a wrench
He loves to belittle
With poo-poo and piddle
Wherever he goes he leaves a stench.

Tease, tempt, coax and cajole till purchased
And wrench the hearts of young and old
Blaze seated on rings and chains
As though culled from hot sun
In Shades bright or light
Red, blue, green, pink
Topaz stones
Glint like
Stars...

I will lie down in your hearts.
My death will be your awakening.
Beseeching every smile,
I'll stay longer than awhile. 
Amalgamated into morning,
I wrench every life I touch,
Brutalized with love.
Who would have it any other way?...

Listen to poem:

Taps 10PM Lights Out

Drip, drip, drip goes my faucet
a wrench is all that I need
no tools to stop that racket
earphones are more like my speed.

Limerick : Once a typsy Toddy-Tapper took Wench

Once a typsy Toddy-Tapper took Wench
Up coco-nut tree with monkey wrench
He pumped her full toddy
Till Wench was tight giddy
But she hung on to ? nuts with wrench.

wrench in a 
well oiled machine
whenever someone 
enters into this environment 
unaware of the way in which 
things work around here 
causing a malfunction within 
the gears causing a break down 
of the mechanism that cause the 
engine to work properly...

Intense shivers ripple my spine; 
She is coming …  
We are stranded by her sweet sirens song of doom  
I feel her hand upon my waist, 
a sharp wrench 
and my stability is gone 
Her warm breath expels my feathery seed, 
Their heads and roots chopped to make her tea...

Turmoil, wrench your vice grip of vehement hands 
You have forever locked at the base of my neck 
Forbid my breath 
Become my soul bearer 
Ingest my kindness 
Absorb my humanity
Devour my belief in the love I feel I deserve 
For it has yet to encompass me 
Rescue me from you...

Trump Critical of the Grinch

Trump has been critical of the Grinch,
And poor thing he will want to bench;
From beginning,
Scoreless inning;
For Trump to lose is an absolute cinch.
(Chicken neck we would like to wrench.)

Even Santa would ho, ho, ho at this one....

Two bonsai trees 
craving for clouds 
a few handfuls of rain

spiky nuggets 
crying wine glass
fasting salivas 
all might drench
taking the wrench off
the frontal lobe
letting a sprout 
lift it's face

calling lips
on pointed  treetops

That sway as she turns
her hips resonate with an unquenchable wrench
Her hazel eyes were light lingers
refusing to depart in deepest dark
A gossamer arch of alabaster skin
as heels dig for completion
In the dark she scrambles for my lips
to bring my final death
as her mouth exhumes
my lust...

And so what language does a European speak?
I asked this of dozens for knowledge I love to seek.
Some of them speak Spanish others speak French
Most common is English said my cousin Wrench.
English, Spanish, French, and several languages from Nepal,
Actually, Europeans speak two hundred languages in all....

Do you feel safe
Or just feel such a waif
Cringing and afraid
Of another escapade 
To react or find
A resolution in time

Will you stand up to it
Finding a place to fit
Does it wrench you
Taking part of your heart too
And how will you return
After your stomach does a double turn.

Unjustly stymied, down by law,


The good citizen balks, throws his -


Monkey wrench into the grinding gears of society:


"They all be damned."


But freed, aided, 


The good citizen (Way, will) makes straight that path,


Turns forward the Great, Lasting Wheel of Society,


For the benefit of all....

"This Old Elf" is a children's song, sung to the tune of "This Old Man".

This old elf,
He built toys.
He built toys for girls and boys.
With a great big hammer
And a great big wrench
He built toys at his workbench!

Bonus activity: Ask children if they can think of some other tools an elf might need to 
build toys....

Who are you?-Shared curse.
Marked in malice as vengence burns.
Lost eyes creep the stare of stone.
Breathe fire to speak words that shatter glass.
Let forbidden truth emerge.
Your wicked silence tells the tale of a hollow soul.
You are a product of sickened disgrace.
I need only forget your face.
Bring ease to this wrench I hold....
