Sweet smoky bacon
Bursting with salty goodness
Adds to any meal
Sizzling on the hot grill’s heat,
Brings a smile with every bite.

Roots spread deep in earth
Seasons cycle through the years
Wisdom blooms with time
All branches for each decade
and many leaves for each year…

Turning gears align
Momentum builds beneath steel
Strength in motion flows

Power of Motion

M.A.D. Works

Turning wheels with purpose and might,  

Overcoming obstacles, reaching new heights.  

Rotating forces that drive us along,  

Quietly powering, strong and long.  

Unleashing energy, a thrill in the air,  

Engine’s heartbeat, a mechanical flair.
