Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
The title above tells you the story;
It’s about an item in all our lives.
The first encounter is just so hoary -
Immovable, no matter how one strives.
Though please don’t get carried away - no knives.
----------
Ok so now I’ve got that lever thing
And/or a backup with a rubber band;
(Instructions available – give me a ring)
Better than the knife; you’ve still got your hand.
Do message me and open every brand.
---------
But a problem – closure and reopen:
This trouble I can really do without.
‘Mansplaining’ sometimes seen as misspoken,
But this is a problem for all no doubt;
Gendered advice is not what this is about:
----------
Closure after is quite simple to do:
The top replacement should be backward, slow
Until settled position is felt by you,
Then forward clockwise will be all the go
With trouble free opening now you know….

You need an angle grinder mate .. problem halved .. 🙂
But with respect Sir, problem not solved...........!
Not only have I been anticipating your next release but you hit upon a subject that I have had recent encounters with. You made me laugh Dave and that deserves a fave.
Thanks Soren - I tried to make it light, but this First World Problem is very real, as it seems you are aware...
Mansplaining is a term one of my brothers introduced to me while carrying on his usual conversation, throwing it in as if to add extra flavor. And if I never dreamed such a topic as you've chosen could be grand for this genre, thank you for showing me. Delightfully rendered with excellent details and a a delicious poignancy and humor. Thank you for sharing.
You are more than welcome, Missy. Even I can be surprised at what I dig up when I put my back into it.
Being in this position can cause a certain amount of aggravation. I have never resorted to knives. Reading about YOU however Dave, I couldn’t help but smile. My solution, I have a man who can. An engineer in the house helps:) Hope your day has been trouble free. A fun write.
Come on Cassie – You surely don’t call him for assistance every time you want to put the top back on a bottle or jar?........... Neva leave the kitchen, my dear – the world is far too complicated for you out there….🤣😇🙃
Tut tut. He spends far more time in the kitchen than me and is an ace at changing Hoover bags and putting out the rubbish. Anything remotely technical is his department. lol.
But the Jar.... the bottle...? However hoover bags and especially the rubbish... I could do with a General factotum like that around my place...think I'll have to wait for the robots....
Awesome poem and
story! 😲
Kinda sad yet funny! 🤣
Sounds like cross threaded
Screw tops, you
Needed a collage degree ¿?¿
Thanks for sharing with me...
Best regards ✌️ Thad
😁
Thanks Thad. No college degree here - just a loose and flexible wrist action with grip....... 😇
I have a glass cutter Dave to cut the tops off. |LOL
Andy
You sound like you are of similar mind to a poet here name of Neville. Are you in collusion, or do you need an introduction?🤣
Yes we are in collusion Dave. LOL
Andy
You need a jar and bottle opener for seniors. Very affordable and a must for the draw. Beware though, some are better than others.
I know - tried 'em all, I think For lever jobs the 'Jarkey' is the business; the threaded jobs nothing beats a good old rubber band....
The title above tells you the story, if this is the case why did you bother to write the rest? LoL 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Keep calm and Carry on dearest David, I'm only screwing with you. 🇮🇹🏴🇮🇹🏴🇮🇹🏴😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤗
But why would you want to? I think you have worked with children for too long😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤗🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣lol🤣
Children love to laugh that's for sure. 🌹
But do they know when to laugh and to laugh appropriately without name calling? I don't particularly wish this to degenerate into a feud, so let's cease this now.🕊️ ?
No reply? that's the way it goes I suppose....
