Not sure where to put this, but I'm hoping for some input so I can fix it up.

Robotics adaptation of 'These are a few of my favorite Things. This is what happens when the transit strike deprives me of robotics...

Random Robotics parody of 'These Are A Few of my Favorite Things'

Lubedrops on toolbits and hard wooden benches
Noisy old band saws and seven sixteenth wrenches
Old award tapestries hanging from strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Robotics manuals with monochrome palates
Hammers and power drills and hard rubber mallets
Robot team presidents treated like kings
These are a few of my favorite things

Boys in clear goggles with large power tools
Extension cords that are wrapped around spools
Defensive backbots with PVC wings
These are a few of my favorite things

When the bolt breaks
When the oil's gone
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad


-winces- Yeah... I'm new, so I'm not sure exactly where this should've went, but this looked like the right thread. Looking for some help - especially on the 'pvc wings' and 'oil's gone' lines. The 'award tapestries' line also needs serious help, too.

Er... thanks in advance?

Haha loved it. Would you consider reposting it in the FIRST poetry thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41017&highlight=Poetry)?

There's a poetry thread? But this is parody, would it still go there, as the work isn't original entirely...

EDIT: And either way, this is a work in progress, so it's not quite finished and polished for a poetry thread. Is that thread offical, or just fandom?
