johntoennessen Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Here is a case where I wrote the poem first and took the photo later. The poem was originally posted on another forum under the subject "what irks me" So my question to all of you is What irks you? oh windshield wiper, on the windshield of mine you swipe a path and make me blind on this cold and wet drive today I beckoned your call to clear my way to remove the snow, remove the rain yet you leave a streak that is a pain I switched you on but had no clue that you would distort my view when I went to replace you ,I had to decide to select a wiper I must pick a side your Left is shorter than your right sold in two's that's my plight when it comes time to use that spare part you're dried out and fallen apart that is why I posted this note today this what irks me the most 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samstevens Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Laughter is like a windshield wiper, it doesn't stop the rain but allows us to keep going. Dirk turned on the car wipers, which grumbled because they didn't have quite enough rain to wipe away, so he turned them off again. Rain quickly speckled the windscreen. ―Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul 3 "You talkin' to me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
