I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes.
I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over.
I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong.
And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions.
I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely.
It's what we do.
NOT a donkey. No self respecting donkey works like that, preferring instead to be riding piggyback upon some poor soldier's back (a moving target, perhaps?)
No. This is a mule: long-suffering, patient, steadfast.
Looks like he / she could use some new shoes, though. Maybe a pair of snazzy red converse 'trainers' ...
