Watching Engineers Welders Fix Broken Machinery Poem by Terence George Craddock

if you spent a few years
watching engineers welders
machinists trying to fix
heavy duty broken machinery

to machine make fit new parts
to nut out problems on the spot
with pressing time constraints
in tight confined work spaces

the need to convey complexity
to pay tribute to old friends means
time spent trying to get it right

dust years pass time passes
sound machinery noise fades
grease work memories fades
