Nailed My Nail

A hammer is a wonderful servant or a cruel master Can finish a job or create a disaster All depends on how you use it Just strike true and don't abuse it Slammed my hammer onto my thumb Cant believe I've been so dumb I'm old enough to know You have to swing fast but aim slow I knew at once it was a classic fail The instant it smashed my nail Hurt so good it made me dance Ran in a circle and peed my pants So my thumb is now as big as my big toes I guess that's the way it goes All the while knowing You gotta know where that hammer's going Just because I had a bunch or beer I had nothing to fear Because I am an expert at using that tool While drinking and acting the fool

Good advice, Timothy~ "swing fast but aim slow". And stay away from your thumb.
