Trade School Sonnets - My Love is like a Multi-Bushing Roller Chain Sprocket

My Love is like a Roller Chain Sprocket

My love asked me "Do you love me, my love?"

I looked through the window at the sunlight

playing upon a Roller Chain Sprocket

on the bench

'neath the spreading boughs of June.

"My love", I said, "is like unto a Roller Chain Sprocket."

"For its teeth are chamfered to prevent wear."

"For it is steadfast, yet freely rotating."

"For it is available with from one to three bushings."

"But," I said, "My heart has but one bushing for you."

"And it is fixed with a pin to the drive axle,"

"which can stick if it hasn't been serviced in a while."

My love sipped his tea with flustered hands.
