Put My Name On Your List

Put my name on your list.
Because I'm willing and able.
I've got the magic I insist...
You need,
With those benefits...
At the touch of your fingers.

Put my name on your list.
And get it closer to the top.
Because I'm willing and able.
You wont shout for me to stop.
'Cause...
I've got that magic here to feel,
At your fingertips.

You want to row a slower boat.
But I've brought with me a motor.
And...
You will find too hard to let go,
To my speed.

Hub Normal

All human
Are not for
Normal...
At mind...

All are hub normal
Today...
Each every human
Mind is not for free...

All are wanted for
Some of wastage
Put in side the mind...
World is not for silient...

With human mind also...
Sounded, murmered,
Much busy...
so...

The Wheelwright. For David

The wheelwright worked, as carefully,
yet so fast, as a wheel spins.

One day, someone said to him,
the centre of the wheel never moves.

Infuriated, the wheelwright worked night and day
neglecting his other work,
to prove this was not true;

he invented a wheel which was all rim;
but it still needed a hub, an axle;
but he had invented the flywheel;
his business flourished despite him.

He invented a wheel with a hollow at its centre;
but had to devise a radiating hub;
yet he had invented machinery;
his business thrived.

Just A Note To The Elite

wagon wheel turning
in the dirt... the spokes
and the hub are what

makes it work! .

poor people are the spokes,
hard workin' is the hub!
if you take that away...

the wheel becomes useless...
(caves in on itself!)

never forget the debt you owe
to those around you!

Hug & Kisses

The tight hug

you are giving

comes sort of stun

to my innate senses...

lighted a blaze to my innocence,

strikes the hub of my consciousness;

and enhances this awaken sensuality.

while

A Wonderful Feeling (Revised)

A fervent plea, an impassioned SOS to
the remote IT – Help, my computer’s
failed; disciples of cool calmly reply,
bring us the CPU. CPU? Yes, it means

dismantle, dissemble or disembowel
the beast, locate the malfunctioning
piece, balance precariously on a chair
with wheels and drag it down here

Security says disbelievingly, Oh no, you
must fill out this form in duplicate at
least, CPU detail, your name – and oh,
plus another for the chair;

Struggling with anxious sweat brow-
breaking and running unchecked down
my face, finally reach IT - my arrival
ignored – Please, I beg, sanitise my

The Deacon's Masterpiece Or, The Wonderful "One-Hoss Shay": A Logical Story

Have you heard of the wonderful one-hoss shay,
That was built in such a logical way
It ran a hundred years to a day,
And then, of a sudden, it -- ah, but stay,
I'll tell you what happened without delay,
Scaring the parson into fits,
Frightening people out of their wits, --
Have you ever heard of that, I say?

Seventeen hundred and fifty-five.
Georgius Secundus was then alive, --
Snuffy old drone from the German hive.
That was the year when Lisbon-town
Saw the earth open and gulp her down,
And Braddock's army was done so brown,
Left without a scalp to its crown.
It was on the terrible Earthquake-day
That the Deacon finished the one-hoss shay.

Now in building of chaises, I tell you what,

Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.
