Workings

 

Machines that function day and night

Rely on pieces out of sight.

Axles turning, most unseen,

Pins and spacers in between.

Cogs and gears keeping pace,

Matching wheels in tight embrace.

Pinioned arms that rise and fall.

Cranks and pivots, moving all.

Working parts in constant play,

With squirts of oil along the way.

Cranks and chains and lights that blink.

Moving parts that interlink.

Various items stop and start,

Each playing its appointed part.

So many kinds may be found,

Both with and without sound.

A cylinder here, a sprocket there,

Clips and couplings everywhere.

Belts and bearings, seals and springs.

Shafts and pulleys and cabled things.

Clutches, drives, cams and keys.

Splines and brakes, yes, all of these.

Machines that function night and day,

Such clever workings, you might say.
