I'm a newbie to the list, just thought I'd sum up my impressions of the
tinkering craft with a bit of humor.

Note: I really like tinkering, I'm just making light of recent events. No
hand puppets were harmed in the making of this parody.

To the tune of the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction":

I can't get no tinker info
I can't get no tinker info
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm hanging by the mills
And that GM giving me some /tells
He says he's sure he knows the drill
And he's got good information
Supposed to fuel my machinations
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, Meldrath I've got to slay?

I can't get no tinker info
I can't get no tinker info
'Cause I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

So I open up my kit
But that GM is full of cheese
Now I've lost my only cloak
'Cause those items don't combine in those quantities
And they say this skill ain't broke!?
I can't get no, oh no no no
Hey hey hey, gotta try the gnomes in lesser fay.

That's all I could come up with on the spot. Thanks to
