Get on with it man, do your job
Bring out the big wrench
Hurry with it man you are no flop
You’ve shown your good sense
You’ve been at it for a long while
No muddle no fumble
You’ve been good with your guiles
And don’t stumble, What?
The cog and wheels’ on the ground
Who could have done that!
Those with no qualms
With whom did you last have a spat
Got to be aware
And be prepared
Rivals can be nasty
They play dirty
Your efforts in tatters
Make matters worst
Ok, not to even things
Act nice and prim
Always seek and procure
Providence is an equalizer

I think it's called the rat race! Well described here too!
ReplyDeleteyes Hank, it's a wow, it rhymes with texture and good message.
ReplyDeleteNice Rhyming :)

ReplyDeleteOr you may just wind up career dead
Oh the rat race is a pain
But fun rhyming here at your lane
I very much like the line you have taken here. Well thought out.
ReplyDeleteHank, I put those scoundrels on level with computer virus developers and those who put rolls of TP into the toilet. Just make a mess of everything.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I tend to read words rapidly and read the second line as
Bring out the big wench
That was before I knew the context.
Is this an oil derrick the fellow is working on? Or like a tool pusher for a drilling operation?
..
Yeah, bring the big wrench! Nice one, Hank...
ReplyDeleteI like the colloquial, chatty tone of this, and "Rivals can be nasty
ReplyDeleteThey play dirty".
Nice work!
I've had a few rivals cross my path, where was the big wrench when I needed it? Nice Mag!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but sometimes it takes a lifetime for providence to equalize...
