SOPHIA LOREN ON A BICYCLE

One revised poem this post. Thanks to Juncture 25 for the constructive feedback. I know I am a broken record where this is concerned but your work will improve immensely if you can find a group of people you trust to offer constructive feedback.

The Theory of The Coulombs

or The Eternal Lust of The Electrical Engineer

He reduces electrical theory

to Sophia Loren on a bicycle

and all us students are Coulombs

chasing her inside the copper wire.

Obviously she's the attraction,

and we are racing to catch her.

Think of resistance as a steep hill,

we have to pedal faster

because we can't let her get away!

It works for him obviously, for he has the lust,

the dreams of what they'll do once they meet.

I am sat in silence,

thinking that she is old enough to be my mother,

noting the gleam in his eye,

as he talks of getting closer...

All his efforts to impart wisdom,

to day release apprentices

are met with blank faces.

He decides we are dullards,

with no imaginations.

You can read the original here.
So what is different? 
The whole poem is tighter. Several words have been removed and less is always better. The third to last line is gone. It was: It is all our fault. As was pointed out it adds nothing to the poem and introduces a new idea, never a good plan at the end of a poem.

Here is Anna Ternheim covering Shoreline, which was originally released by Broder Daniel.

Have a good weekend. 
I'm off to see the wondrous Palooka 5 this evening. I intend to dance the night away. Come everybody, let's go tripping!
