Underground Poetry: If You Like Gadgets

65

By gg.zaino

a funny little man

clever little gadgets

gadgets I knew this man,
an aficionado,
up to date in worldly things.

He bought gadgets;
lots and lots of gadgets.

Things that,
he just could not,
pass up, or live without.

Astounding gadgets- clever little gadgets,
that beeped and reminded;
recorded things.

Ones that dried things,
shaved- opened- sorted,
dated- sealed;
purified his water things.

Food gadgets
that,
cooked- diced- peeled,
and sliced things,
even a labor free gadget,
for hands off,
making bread things.

Funny thing,
about the man;
he was afraid of gadgets...

So he owned them,
by the bushel. gg.zaino Page 12/11/2012

Hello Greg: You seem to have written an epigram here with an ending infused by your wry wit. You also made me think of the animated Inspector Gadget. Great read.

Hell Dusty- you had a field day reading thru my grey matter and how it operates!

I wonder how i would digest what you just polished off here???? thanx for all this time you put in Amigo- truly appreciated.

Aye Brother- the day's a comin'!

We're making plans on heading ur way come August after all. decided on not making the Green Mountains, but instead, cross country it seems to be.

not exactly sure how we're gonna set this up, but i have two friends in New Mexico- one in Albuquerque- the other in Los Alamos- and of course yourself.

is there a hotel/motel close by?

Trying to figure on how to deal with the hound too... makes it a bit more difficult, but i wouldn't pass up the chance to greet ya face to face and shake your hand-

kick me a kite in email and give me your take on it.

maybe a route to take that makes sense etc.

Keeping fingers crossed and trying not to piss off the Gods until the journey comes to an end- i see a great story evolving in all this!!!

Peace Dusty- Be cool Bro

ur amigo greg :]-~~
