ADVICE FROM A PAIR OF PLIERS

Get a grip, man, and be sure

To hold firm to your task.

Keep your aims in life secure

Forever hold them fast

 

Do not let cross threaded screws

Or bent and rusty nails

Stand in the way of things to do.

Never be derailed.

 

But beware too iron a grip

Can danger put you in.

A lack of care can cause a slip

And slice a strip of skin.

[Poem - 18 October 2025]
