Welding micro poetry




"All Men Die" is one of my old Micro Poems ( a poem of three, 3-letter words, forming a 9 letter grid). My son was learning plasma cutting, so I sketched this simple design which he cut out of 5mm steel plate.
I'm trying to get hold of Prof.Frankfurter's On Bullshit and there were amusing scenes at my local library this afternoon when I requested this title in a loud voice.
The main drawing is a walking tank. Click it to enlarge.

It was interesting to see an interview with Prof. Frankfurter on American television. Always careful not to broadcast potentially offensive words, I was surprised to hear them speak the title of his book in it's entirety. Apparently because it's the title, they could openly say "bullshit" but if they had used it to describe something else it would have needed to be "bleeped".
