THE SUPERIORITY OF MACHINERY by THOMAS HOOD

Poet Analysis

First Line: A MECHANIC HIS LABOR WILL OFTEN DISCARD
Last Line: WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THOUGH IT STRIKES.
Subject(s): MACHINERY & MACHINISTS;
A MECHANIC his labour will often discard
If the rate of his pay he dislikes;
But a clock--and its case is uncommonly hard--
Will continue to work though it strikes.
