Survival of the Quietest

Thoughts emanate from the male brain         
and exit our mouths with great speed...

This is Basic Gender Communications 101
though this task often lacks the efficiency
to protect my team's survival needs..

 
Proper word choice is always the challenging key ..

We gotta take heed
of insidious
potentially deadly
hidden meanings...

Remember that when we verbally joust
with the female of the species
we our badly outmanned...

Our every gesture..

Every shade of nuance 
is always subject to interpretation...

At the mercy of her explosive perceptions
as our very words get twisted
to bludgeon us into submission ..

Even inflection has to be considered..

It’s not what you say, but how you say it..

With so many potential pitfalls
we need to accept the logical conclusion.
that we boys should learn to practice
verbal abstinence

Patch and Go

The Amazing Mr. Gimmick..

Quick fixer extraordinaire..

Has a knack
for slap together
work around solutions
not found in any manual..

Duct tape and string..

       
Patch it up quickly
and pray it holds..

Every functional day
is a victory of creativity

over conventionality

Clogged Vent

Condemned at birth was I...

Never fully cleansed
from that original sin
I played no part in...

 
Anger issues implanted...

Hard wired resentments...

Today I am way past warranty
but the madness still persists...

Who do I see about this??

Ticket To Oblivion

So preoccupied was I
with my latest shit
I missed the big pic
that my distracted ass
was currently riding
the wrong train
to the wrong place..

Since I am almost there
at the end of the line
it may be time

for me to get off somewhere
in the middle of nowhere..

I doubt my existence will be missed..
