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 theyre no longer thinking!
Said the cup to the saucer: Youre only for spills!
Youre too small for coffee and splash when youre filled!
The saucer replied : But I serve high tea! And youd still be a mug if it werent 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 theyre flirty!
The table said I do the work while you stare!
The chair said Without me youd always be bare!
The oil said to butter, You cant take the heat! You burn and you smoke, then youre no good to eat!
The butter replied, Im much more high class; who orders lobster with drawn oil? he laughed!
The brush said Im gentle, and I stroke to please;
The comb replied Call me when youre full of fleas!
The match to the candle, the lock to the key;
All feel superior, dont 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 weve invented!
Wed be in the stone age had we been contented!
So heres to you all, who cant let it be!
Youve 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
