Screwed by a Damaged Screw

Stubborn screw refuses to give
head, damaged beyond recognition, stripped
naked fury and angst it invokes in me
screwdriver no longer fits tightly,
slipping in and out with ease
Today's Poem: Free-Verse


Sexual inuendo? Where?
Today's inspiration: The hard drive on my Powerbook G4 died a sudden death recently. In the hope of saving a hundred bucks, I attempted to replace the internal hard drive myself. Little did I know that small thin screws would be such a pain to remove. With one of the Phillip screws, the head was so stripped that I need to file another slot into the screw head just to be able to remove it.
