ONE OF THE NOISY BOYS
I wanna be one of the noisy boys
I wanna be one of the boys,
striding about with power tools
showing off my toys.
I wanna get kitted with engines fitted
that smell and cut and chop,
things with extensions of massive dimensions
the biggest in the shop.
I'll cut my way through night and day
creating havoc wherever I go,
be a very noisy neighbour
reaping trouble with friend or foe.
Petrol powered it has to be
to take on any bush or tree,
a whining strimmer to finish the job
and that'll be good enough for me.
I wanna be one of the noisy boys
I wanna be one of the boys,
striding about with power tools
showing off my toys.
Sunday's the time to make myself felt
a day of rest but there you go,
distressing the dog and making it bark
starting early , up with the lark.
I make my presence very high viz
in terms of sound, oh yeah! gee whizz.
I must admit that nothing's safe
when i'm around, i'll flatten it down.
My aim is to play the power game
the Texas chainsaw massacre game,
shamelessly blamelessly loud and crude
and if tackled I certainly will be rude.
I wanna be one of the noisy boys
I wanna be one of the boys.
Striding about with my power tools
showing off my toys.

Thanks Rachel for sharing those salient points with which I completely agree. Many tools can be fairly quiet affairs and also the whispering of a plane can be therapeutic or indeed anything that requires complete attention . A sort of meditation, utterly different from my savage poem! Crafts in the workshop are GO. Aythangyo.
