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.

Swapping Consonants
Reminds me of that old Bill Clinton joke "No, no, I said "Monica, sack my cook!!"
i'm so out of touch i never heard that one... bet it'd be even funnier with a brit accent.
ReplyDeleteAh, Mr Jim, it was long ago, but Bill's recent foray into Pyongyang brought all those jokes back to the surface.
