TOOLING AROUND

I have always wanted
to use the word lugnuts
in a poem, but still
have never found
the way to do so.

It is much the same
with my full set
of socket wrenches,
still in futile search
for a matching
set of sockets.

I keep my bastard
file in the garage
with the other files
and tools, but
my name is
the only one in it.
