Haiku a Day

A Scroll Threw Life

about

My unreasonable expectations have often led me down the path of irrational exuberance.

Industry

A.I. image generated from haiku text of stylized round spring gadget with spring like qualities 
fifty years ago
summer job in factory
room size spring grinder

turntable of tubes
fill all tubes with raw springs
make ends flat to seat

fast pace to keep up
if one sticks in tube tap other
guy and duck under table

sparks fly all around
best motivation ever
to return to school

    That is true. My experience was at Head Ski, but in hindsight I saw I should have stayed, but I didn’t know myself well enough back then to realized 1) I would have been promoted and worked in marketing, not on the line and 2) I’d have had free skis for life

      There was never an offer of free springs for life on the table. 😁
