Making good
Who better to trust
than he who fixes all things —
rebuilds vehicles,
restores engines, repairs clocks,
builds, constructs and renovates?

I wish! I got this one by marriage, in my early 20s. My biological dad was a despicable human being and a total waste of oxygen.

Is a tanka a tank top? Shit, now I have to look up the meaning!
I agree, and there are also women who can do these things as well!
Being well rounded makes us self sufficient.

Ha ha! 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 syllables. Trying a few different forms. Yes, some women excel at practical stuff. Sadly, I'm not one of them! I just wanted to write something for my stepdad. By the way, I tidied up the one I wrote the other day. I'm still not thrilled, but it's a bit better.

You know I've never owned a TV!!! Want to know what the last programmes I watched were? Whose Line Is It Anyway and Have I Got News For You, in the 1990s as a university student!!!

We digress! I write about it quite a bit. I can walk short to moderate distances, in boots, on even terrain, preferably with something to hold on to.
