Squid Alley...

On Squid alley, there's a rickety garage

The paint is almost gone

Wood looks like decoupage

The work that comes from there

Ain't got a guarantee

The work that's done by Squidward

Will cost you more than his fee

'Cause he'll drill out your lock

In the steering-stem

What? A little drill?

I ain't got one of them

Losing parts, ain't the problem

We just don't put them in

Breaking shit, might be

Squidward says with a grin

Somehow the job, turns bad

Just as it always does

And we know the the reason

With Squid, it's just because

Yet...There are times of genius

When you're wondering what to do

Squid comes along, with the right thing for you

I think most times he's on auto

Pilot....don't ya know...

He just needs to put his brain in gear

Before pushing the gas to go

Hilarious, and eveyone

We haven't heard the last of Squid Alley, the guys all liked this one, and they all want their names in the next one. Did I say there would be a next one, I asked? You mean that is it, they asked? LOL, I guess there will be future installments. ~ Gee

Love your door, I mean garage.

Ann of Norway Just visited Steven's door, it reminded me of his too, the decaying man-made things making music in the poets old crotchety mind with his twists and turns of personal likes and dislikes, and your inevitable stench of oil and petrol, muddying the brakes as your mind travels up into its dream-like madness and is worthy yet again of the brain of a warrior for the state. Good show dear Geezer my knight in a sweat over gas in the carburetter- chassis of the squid-like skid. Just talking rubbish, I liked the découpage bit!!! Caiou from yr Queenie Anne( somehow I ned an e on the end here to be right I feel! "That Squid comes along, with the right thing to do" ... ...this seemed a little long and not so interesting as the rest, I'm saying something but I am not sure what!!!

I was thinking...

that I might delete the word [that], but wasn't really sure, maybe it would make the line a little less weighty. ~ Love to the queen, ~ Gee
