“TINKER”
I think he’s a good thinker
‘cause he always
likes to tinker.
He likes to take stuff apart
then he tries to
make it start.
He seems to get his joy
tinkering on an ancient toy.
He could be missin’
some nuts an’ bolts
or maybe just not
enough volts.
Sometimes he depend
on his luck
when he tinkers on
an old truck.
Sometimes he works
on his old Ford
or tinkers on an
old outboard.
When he tinkers
on a chainsaw
he doesn’t have to
follow no law.
When he tinkers on
an old tractor
he looks more like an actor.
One thing he sure
doesn’t look mean
when he tinkers on
an old machine.
He even uses a kitchen tool
‘cause tinkering is
not a school.
He has a really big
spool of copper
an’ he knows not to
tinker with a chopper.
Tinkering could be his hobby
but you’ d have to ask
my brother Bobby.
