Techno-Tinkering

Timely tales to tell,

to those too timid to try

to test their tenacity

ten to twenty times.

Those too tender to tend,

to tasks that take time,

tempted to take tangents,

turning toil into trifle.

Tinkering, till trapped,

too tired to turn,

the thing toward

tested techniques.

Tempted to take,

the track to terse,

trendy technology,

to think them through.

The talented troubadour

trending toward

tech-texted tropes.

To trick the teacher,

to tell that,

they took this travail,

to the top tier.

Though, to truly triumph,

try taking the time,

to trudge toward,

truth’s testy totality.
