My Workshop

Time to clean my shop, Work will never stop. Tools need to be put away. Sawdust needs sweeping, Cobwebs are creeping, My soul is in disarray. A pair of pliers, Some speaker wires Hang them up on the pegboard. A set of drill bits, Is giving me fits, Problems can not be ignored. If I’m feeling lost, It’s too high a cost, So cleanliness I’ll extol. Then son of a pup I’ll build myself up, In my shop I’m in control. ALOUTTE YOUR CLEANSING RITE By Tony Lane

Good, that was the feeling that I was trying to convey. Sometimes I need to see something that I've accomplished even if it's sweeping a floor.

Oh I love this. I feel the anxiety of the persona and that longing for control in one's life. I sense an allegorical undertone?
