ACME TIRE FACTORY
ACME TIRE FACTORY
The system was so slow to
use and the boss was always on our back
Hurry hurry get your fingers
out this job depends on you
I’ll fire your sorry arses
if you go any damn slower!
My company and big fat
profit depend on you lazy gets doing this job right
Don’t dawdle and stop gossiping
about your Saturday nights
I’ve checked the order
already and it’s only half done and needs to be sent
For that you can work thru
your dinner hour without pay and eat after work
See what a good boss I am to
you all I will treat you at Xmas
And so it went on day by
week by month by year by decade
ACME TIRE FACTORY was always
this way with a slave boss
And unhappy pissed off
workers who were no better than slaves
Why did we stay in the job
when there was the dole doing nothing?
We were all mates and drank
together every Saturday to forget this
Plus we also worked
deliberately slowly to piss the boss off
We could live without eating
dinner when our boss was upset
Our tools and line was ok
but outdated so we milked it
It was us who ran the tire
factory not him and he knew it
We could shut him down or
burn his company without interference
We made 2 out of 3 vehicle
tires on North American roads
Why change a good thing when
we hated but loved it?

Dark Delectable Delicious Destructive
This anthology brings together Nick's darker poems in his 20 years of writing. There are many moods, topics, styles and poems here. Each tells a story. It's up to you, the reader, to judge the work here. The human condition is one of thoughts and emotions. How many of us have been hurt, depressed or angry in our own existence? Nick has experienced much in life; some of his experiences and views are here, in his work. Unlike most people, he writes and documents his life. A unique and varied book suitable for not only goths but everybody else. Welcome to Nick's dark yet creative world.
