Chinese Carpentry

I’ve got a skill just come up and see
While I complete it so easily
Just watch my hands as they do their stuff
Your eyes won’t want to get enough

I can do it with my eyes shut tight
And you won’t beat me try as you might
To make something out of nothing it’s plain to see
With pencil and paper I designed it so freely 

There are no nails in what I build
With my carpentry the wood will yield
And with a couple of moves it unfolds
Into a small stool with a look so bold.
