Jigsaw

She was bored with the TV and with her book
With puzzles too the same she was never unstuck 
Needed something that would occupy her mind
When upstairs in the closet a jigsaw she did find

Over a thousand pieces she would put together 
The picture when done of a boat in hot weather 
Her table would do as she now made a start 
Joining up the pieces and then pulling them apart

Three days later while her tea was brewing 
This mammoth jigsaw proved her undoing 
For she was both certain and also very sure 
There was a missing piece in the jigsaw
