The lost combination for the poet’s compassion.

I wanted to write something nice for a change
Not skitty, but pretty
Not vicious or cruel

I wanted to prove to myself above all
construction, not destruction
could be fashioned with this tool

I wanted to prove my muse wasn’t a hammer
But rather, could work hand in hand if need be
I wanted to think my muse might be a chisel
Carving the rough-stones of raw poetry

To delicately tap
To see it unwrap
To fold so it fits in the white envelope

Caressing the temples
Of migrainous souls
Rekindling the fires of warmth-bringing hope

I earnestly set out
With this as my quest
For once to be courteous
And give of my best
A nice rolling rhyme
Such a comforting ode
But the imp in my pocket’s about to explode

I begged, “Let the readers see
just who I am”
“Sod off!” said the imp,
“Are you Desperate Dan?”
Granny: I could have let it lie, but I didn’t let it lie. Blame Vic and Bob….;¬)

Haley asked:


I am doing my first major construction project. We have started installing the doors and I have decided this is my least favorite task so far. I have become decent with the hammer, but still occasionally miss the nail and mar the frame a bit. Are there any standard practices for protecting the frame while hammering? How far in should the nail be before we use the countersinking tools?

So I am having my sons birthday party for his 2nd birthday soon. He loves tools so it is a tool theme, but I am having trouble finding tool decor. And for his invites I am cutting out hammers and letting his big sis and him color them and writing the invite on them. But I am looking for a cute little saying to go along with tools and 2nd birthdays and his name is Tanner! So I can kinda rhyme that with hammer if I had to. Please give me good feedback. And any websites you may suggest for decor. BUt I only want tools; not construction things, just hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers… NOt the trucks and all that.
