\na drop of oil would surely
\nloosen any bind.
\nThen an open
\nshut
\nor two
\nmore than likely would do.<\/p>\n
\nwith worn pedicle screws
\non a door are about
\nthe getting through, and
\nmuch less the hanging on.<\/p>\n
\nthat has been locked
\nfor far too long,
\nor slammed too hard
\na time or two
\nthe letting in
\nwill have to rely
\non anneal of trust
\n& a well oiled
\nwhat next to do.<\/p>\n
