Oh Dear Professor Wiggens
Gears, cogs and bearings were grinding;
all attempts at lubrication had been in vain
The large handle on the bright copper urn
was vibrating like an unbalanced propeller
Professor Wiggens sighed, wiped the persperation from his brow
with an old grey hanky-chief
[which may have been white, fifteen or
twenty years ago]
Then he yelled "Bring me a strong black
Americano, Mr Barrister!"
kicking that urn with a resounding "gong"
which echoed through the factory like a
call to prayer, in a Monistory
I like Wiggens, feel sorry for the old guy
It's fourty years ago since building
this damn factory
which went so wrong;
Well it didn't really go wrong, completely production is extremely high!
Anyway Wiggens drinks twenty four to twenty six cups of Americano coffee
every day and has done for fourty years
This production facility with all it's steam
handles
glass, copper-pipe
urns
cogs
bearings
and wood;
was meant to manufacture large amounts
of strong-dark-roast-coffee
You see, Wiggens completely
messed up the design
As a result
the coffee machine pumps out
fourty to fifty thousand poems a week
No-topic
no-style
no-catagory
no-form
It just spits poetry out at an alarming rate
It's not that bad;
except that, Wiggens really does love coffee
He also
really can't stand
poetry
