My Ditsy Moment
Hot and sweaty after mowing the lawn,
Checking out tool for job this weekend,
A combination miter saw was the fiend.
I was getting frustrated doing adjustments.
Working on getting the right bevel aligned.
It would not swivel to a forty-five angle.
Still hot and sweaty, though cooling some,
I knew the adjustment was so simple.
But, no release I could find anywhere.
More frustrated now with a headache,
I searched the internet for directions.
Lost manual but found one on net.
Reading and reading it states so easy.
Returning to saw, turning upside down.
Now so perturbed, about to go crazy.
Now mind you, I have loosened bolts.
Retightened again and again, now nuts,
With the tension knob still so loose,
I touch the side and it slid to left.
Such a silly madness, just an easy touch,
Now a ditsy and crazy carpenter set.
