O screw
with your fine thread
your bugle head
your shank
your sharp tip—
you with your disinclination to slip
have taught me all
I need to recall
about politics:
go left & get loose
go right & tighten
into place
like dutiful screws
but beware the quick fix
the stripped thread
the buggered head
of those who are too
truly screwed.
Brilliant.
Ok..Luisa already said “Brilliant” and I can’t think of a better word. Wow! This could be a subset to go with the “Ode to Tools.”
Well, gosh. Thanks.
nice!
I’ll take a screw over a nail any day.
