DAY 17 - NAPOWRIMO 2011

Posted to Writers Island


SHED GEAR

It’s all shed gear though, innit?
Not stuff you put in your shed
Stuff that does your shed, right in

Remember; when I say ‘shed’
I obviously mean ‘head’
And I’ll qualify that

Not stuff you put on your head
No… I’m not talking head wear
Like it’s some French to English

Guillaume; meaning William
Garderobe; meaning Wardrobe
Or Gear; translating to Wear

G to W exchange
Thingy, or something like that

No… Stuff that does your head in
And I mean right in… Got it…?

    Had it from the get-go... but, you got a poem out of it, right? - well done.

    I'm still confused about this stuff that does your head in. I liked the down to earth language in this.

    Thanks Viv; Most days something or someone will find a way to confuse or annoy us.

    Must admit I'm fairly puzzled by this one, Stan, even though I follow some of the associations...

    I feel I'd need a sledgehammer to get it in my head. Nicely done Stan.

    I don't know what would do me in anymore; my shed is spinning.

    Stan, I can relate to this especially the language references. There are days when I get totally confused between English and Spanish.

    Thanks to:
    Jinksy; Maybe so, but I tkought a shed-head was something quite different... ;)
    Pamela; Does your shed in, doesn't it? :)

    So Mad Kane did your shed in, using your own gear, no less?

    It must be me, but I found this roundly amusing— and a delightful play with language—

    I think thinking too much can probably do your shed in!

    The gear in my shed is not helping me right now, but it was a fun read.

    Thanks to:
    Elizabeth; Innit!
    Linda; There's an explanation for everything :)
    Andy; I know knowing too much does!
    Mr.Walker; That's all it was - a bit of fun.
