Human Gadgets
(Fun handout idea-make a necklace with a metal nut as the charm!)
We all have a place in the world it is said,
And some are the leaders, and some are the led.
We all are the parts of a great big machine,
Where wheels, great and small, work with pieces unseen.
Consider your watch... which part would you choose
As the most necessary... the spring or the screws?
The nuts or the bearings, the large cog, the small...
Which one makes it go? Which part most of all?
Take your car... could you do without wheels, without tires,
The batteries, magneto, the spark plugs, the wires?
If you'd take off the steering wheel, take off he clutch
Or remove all the brakes... would it then be worth much?
No, the greatest fly-wheel could not spin without grease,
And it's held in its place by one small simple piece.
So don't be dismayed when you seem in a rut,
You're important... though you may be only a NUT!
