Related to my previous poetic invention the crapee, the weirdee has evolved from a blend of haiku and steam engine service manual.

The ballad of communist acorns

Oh Oh Oh Oh eight millimetre ring spanner

How I dote upon thine cranked nature

I marvel at the mechanical advantage

afforded by your offset design

Hanker do I not for the trickeries of ratcheting rings

And the bourgeois allure of chrome vanadium

For I find contentment in the drop forged billet from China

Nestled in my cabinet of case hardened cheese

  1. Phoenix and Data are going to be jealous of you.


  2. A bit per-verse don't you think?

  3. I likee weirdee.

  4. Wow.  Ring spanner, eh?  Cool. Um, don't know what that is.  Is that for fat fingers and erstwhile wedding rings?

    As for the stables, you do muck about.

    Muck about, get it?  I crack myself up.

  5. Wow this is so great and it brought tears to my eyes and i love the new weirdee forms...Seriously you are a great poet as i have seen your poems many moons ago.More weirdee pleaseee.....lol  

  6. Oy! Oy! Oy! How hard the cheese doth crack the case,

    When mould is thereupon, and cranky vinegar denatured,

    Freely starts to spawn.  I'll not speak of wrenching fits

    Or Bourgeousie alignments, Nay ratchet me some acorns

    My squirrel is fairly pickeled!

  7. Penfold, your literary genuis is unsurpassed.  I shall arrange for you to meet the Queen, I am sure she is seeking a laureat.  I am not sure she will grasp the underlying communist critique expressed through an industrial metaphor, but she knows a little about gas central heating installations, being fond of the CORGI.

    I look forward to your next weirdee, the ballad of capitalist furballs.

  8. You're a weirdy and I likee you.

    Top of the class.

  9. well, bro..

    me like the word:

    /Hanker do I not for the trickeries of ratcheting rings/

  10. "Vibrator Problems"

    Large, dual electromechanical drives

    experience vibration problems

    due to the high inertia of the components

    Hydraulic drives, by comparison,

    are extremely low inertia drives

    that have fewer resonant frequencies.

    They benefit from the damping characteristic

    Of the hydraulic oil used to transmit power.

    A number of analytical and empirical studies were performed

    And various modifications were made or considered,

    To reduce the vibration in the drive train.
