Array ( [sid] => 179201 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Inanimate Objections [time] => 2014-08-31 18:13:52 [hometext] => If our possessions could talk, would they be like us? [bodytext] =>
Inanimate objects; useful or cute;
See all and hear all, and yet they are mute!
Pens, pencils, paper..no voice have they;
Given a sentence, what would they say?

Said the pen to the pencil; “You make mistakes!
But pens get it right on the very first take!”
Said the pencil “I change what men write in a blinking!
Men only use pens when they’re no longer thinking!”

Said the cup to the saucer: “You’re only for spills!
You’re too small for coffee and splash when you’re filled!”
The saucer replied : “But I serve high tea! And you’d still be a mug if it weren’t for me!”

The air conditioner bragged of his pace; “No one need wave me to cool the whole place!”
Said the fan “But my dear your filter is dirty! And ladies prefer pretty fans when they’re flirty!”

The table said “I do the work while you stare!”
The chair said “Without me you’d always be bare!”

The oil said to butter, “You can’t take the heat! You burn and you smoke, then you’re no good to eat!”
The butter replied, “I’m much more high class; who orders lobster with drawn oil?” he laughed!

The brush said “I’m gentle, and I stroke to please”;
The comb replied “Call me when you’re full of fleas!”

The match to the candle, the lock to the key;
All feel superior, don’t you agree?
Husband to wife; sister to brother;
Country to country; one to the other.

Said the watch to the stately old clock in the tower;
“I stay with my master each second and hour!”
The tower clock chimed and rang all his bells;
“Could you have warned millions before the bombs fell?”

Thank dissatisfaction for all we’ve invented!
We’d be in the stone age had we been contented!

So here’s to you all, who can’t let it be!
You’ve sure made my life a lot easier for me!
Let critics question your angst if they dare;
And try not to laugh when they fall from their chair!

"And you’d still be a mug if it weren’t for me!”

A wonderfully clever line. I like this poem. Very well written.

I think my watch has been seeing my clock behind my back!!!

lol...love this one too. Your style not easy to do, in my opinion. Just like your word play in the forums! You have given me some high honor praises, but you deserve a lot of high praise too. This is something I don't think I can do. Very impressive.

I will thank dissatisfaction more often now because that line right there is very profound to me. It speaks a highs volume of truth.

Thank you again,

Sir Timotheus
