Gather thy nuts and bolts while ye may
For as the years grow colder
The fingers lack flex and closure
While the worms gnaw away inside
Until a husk of yourself is all that is left
An eggshell thin and fragile
Which would crack at the slightest shamble
Unable to bend and pick the FOD upon the ground
To grasp and pull upon that expensive wrench
For as the years grow colder
The fingers lack flex and closure
While the worms gnaw away inside
Until a husk of yourself is all that is left
An eggshell thin and fragile
Which would crack at the slightest shamble
Unable to bend and pick the FOD upon the ground
To grasp and pull upon that expensive wrench
Feels as a knife edge upon the fingers
A conundrum and conflict of a sort
For your skin turned to thick leather years ago
Too poor to quit
Too old to rehire
Is this that that awaits us
As we yearn to retire?
The Union stole your pension
The recession ate your 401K
Family emergencies sucked those savings
So you go in again every single day
Grind the corrosion
Flush patch the flaw
R&R a constant speed prop
Rig those flight controls
~A pause to sign your life away~
Account for all your many tools
Wipe down and slip into shadowed trays
Receive your Charles Taylor award
And keep on going until you can't
