Frankensteins

 Stooped bent back, fingers on computer keyboard

Bright,artificial,bluish white light

Casting unnatural hues on machines

Crafted for aiding the toil of the Frankestein

Nine in the morning------  look at his face !!!!!!

No emotion,no bounce, a mechanical mask

He cannot breathe deep for dearth of time

Family,wife,children,brothers,sisters

Children- offsprings or creator of the Frankenstein

Laughs dryly at some succulent joke

Who will free the Frankenstein from his yoke?


Time will pass, so will the days,months,years

Money-wise overflowing-- skills mastered well

Hunchback Frankestein straightens back--yawns

Look at his teeth.. dull with cigarette smoke

Lungs and mind sick with tobacco and time

Who will clean his tired machine of its grime?

Come Saturday evenings a Cinderella Godmother

Frankestein gulps hard drinks,dances to DJ music

Is this what we expect from life...to make it tick?
