Poem
There was a day when I was a man going in the world doing manly things I realized my fingers just wouldn't do in this world doing manly things I did look so long and hard at displays in many stores and read reviews and magazines looking for what would be just the thing got the money so very much for so little it did seem for something that in my pocket would fit go on my belt within a sheath my first pair was shiny bright would deploy with just a flick opened up all the tools to show have be unfolded do the task there were knifes and there were saws screwdrivers to turn and scissors to cut and I did very quickly learn they did not lock and they would fold but I really did like that brand and I thought it was almost the thing so I did get money even more a got another not quite the same still was shiny bright stainless steel but black locks did it have the sharp knifes still hold in place so they did not on fingers fold I did use it for many years and I did learn so many things the screwdrivers were quite small and the scissors quite a joke I did learn that I did need some multi-plier that more serious were with many tools I could really use and so I began to search again another pair I did find that were quite black not shiny at all had many things that I did like and other things that I did not there were gadgets I'd never seen a couldn't figure out what were their thing I did try to use them all some of them I could not of screwdrivers I had a need and of pliers mighty and strong scissors with a longer snip and no use at all for saws I have learned of open frames grips that hurt when squeezing hard and of files much too coarse have not yet found the perfect thing but there are so ever many brands some are shiny and some are black and more tools than I can count designed to do most everything I do think I'll never find the perfect pair just for me with all the tools that I might use and none of all those other things
