1000 Pieces

I will leave it all to you Whatever that means As I haven't a clue But if you maybe do Can you get out the glue To stick it all back together Including the jigsaw to And then find those missing pieces Not square or linear like the edges But the hard to fit ones We never finished To complete our 1000 pieces DAMO

That is a lot. The most I ever did was 500 with my daughter. She quit when we found 5 corners. I continued. I finished. Turns out... there was one extra corner. Someone else had a box with one less. This is a fun poem. It is well written and interesting. Ann

Ahh thank you Ann for your kind comment. Apologies for not responding sooner... I build eco houses and have been busy putting them together .. I don't know what I would do finding an extra corner.. as I would be flummoxed.. so we'll done you for finishing your jigsaw.. Best wishes DAMO
