Anvil man (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

You! Nine to fiver, grinder, anvil-man! You that waits still, for the masters' molten steel whip and the blows of an ever increasing workload. Hold fast your shape as he wields the work-blows and reply with the ever affirming clank as you have done since your casting. For I am the overtimer, grinder, mill-man whose teeth scream as I'm fed poor, bulk, rough material for shaping. I will hold fast my teeth as I'm forced to cut rough into smooth and I will reply with the ever affirming grind-scream as I have done since my build.

Opinionated or not, I tend to agree with you. I still have the bad habit of rushing into posting without that one-last-read-through. Slowing down is an on and off problem for me. I need to MAKE time for this so I can think and listen more.
