Breaking Stuff    Al Simmons   

I break into the blues with a castigation of clumsiness, and I’ve got a smashing band to back me up. Give me a break, don’t overestimate the tensile strength of any apparatus. This is a romp of destruction from breaking up and breaking wind, to Chuck Yeager's breaking of the sound barrier

If there’s a weakest link 

I’m gonna find it.

Give me a wind-up toy,

I’ll over wind it.

If it ain’t broke 

I’ll fix it.

Everyone agrees?  

I’ll nix it.

If it’s stuck I’ll force it.

No one likes it? I’ll endorse it.

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

Clearing the table

After we dine.

If it wasn’t for gravity 

I’d be fine.

A box of marked fragile

And I’m the carrier?

Like Chuck Yager did 

To the sound barrier.

How much can I carry?

The results vary.

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

No charge, no worries 

I’ll break it for gratis.

I overestimate the tensile strength 

Of any apparatus.

You make it, I’ll break it. 

It’s a trait that I envelop. 

Last time I rode a horse 

It broke into a gallop.

A new pair of shoes I’m breaking in,

Even my patience is wearing thin,

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

Break a habit, breaking through,

Breaking up is hard to do.

Shoe laces? I’m breaking plenty.

Need change? I’ll break a twenty.

Break the silence, break the news,

Here’s a tip: invest in glues!

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

I’m breaking stuff. HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

I’ll break bread if you bake it.

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

A hurricane can begin with one butterfly breaking wind.

I’m breaking stuff. 

HE’S BREAKING STUFF.

I’m breaking, I’m breaking, I’m breaking, I’m breaking, I’m breaking, I’m breaking stuff.

It’s odd but I break even.

I’ll try to be more careful.
