Reciprocating Devices
 

you’d better choose your tools

more carefully pretty lady 

trying to throw my own words

back at me can be

dangerous 

 

guess what I think about

when you say the word… reciprocate? 

do you know how a reciprocating,

piston driven device operates? 

it's really sexy if you think about it. 

 

I want to stroke that cylinder wall

with my piston right now...

wanna feel the heat build up

forget about the rings

so hot…orange, red, white freaking hot

 

we have to use high velocity air

or liquid running across us

while we "reciprocate"

to keep us cooled off...

can't just melt down

and fly apart...

 

ummmmm..I think my favorite engine

is a Cummins diesel...

how do you like Cummins baby?...

 

kick that clutch darlin'...

and let off easy now....

ummmmm..let's rev this bitch out

and see what she'll do? 

 

feel that acceleration....

pull back in the seat

ride the vibrations.....

stand on the pedal.....

and soak in the heat
