Disjointed Poem by John Lyday
Disjointed
My pencil does not fit the sharpener.
Although I can expose a little lead,
the tip is flat and wears out quickly.
A dull tip pencil can describe my head.
The faucet on my sink has started leaking.
The drip upon the porcelain has stained.
I’d fix it or I could request a plumber.
A plumber cannot remedy my pain.
The tires on my auto need adjustment.
The threads upon the side are wearing thin.
Unsafe, I risk a blowout when I drive it.
I feel I could explode within my skin.
The seal on my window is disjointed.
The chilly air of life seeps inside.
For warmth I turn up, all the way, my heater.
I crawl inside a blanket just to hide.

Make do seems to be the order of the day. The third and fourth verses seem to relate to two problems I have at the moment. Still I'll probably just stick me head in the sand as usual. 'Necessity is the mother abstention' Not right but fits the bill. A really enjoyable piece John. I have seen some of your work on the forum. Best Regards Steve
