Made To Last

Old painted cupboard of blue
In the corner yonder stand
Craftsman maker never knew
What good use would come his hand
Made to last and work to do
  
One board wide was solid wood
Hand forged nails of iron hold
West oer mountains wagon stood
Prairie home find I've been told
Now at rest for show as should
