Part 3....Simple Toys? Not Anymore

Just as a boy grows into teenager he is bound to one day grow into man I think it's when he is just five years old He becomes a demolition fan At that juncture it's all about the tools To dismantle what works perfectly well They may be begin plastic at the start But it triggers something in their cells A teenager will start with something small A lawnmower, dirt bike, then on to cars Then as he ages and gain life experience The quest for tools is written in the stars It starts with a simple set of wrenches Then moves on to socket sets and ratchet Not just ASE, they need metric as well A tool store is a veritable banquet Metal worker, wood crafter, mechanic Plumber a welder and electrician Wrapped up in a testosterone package Needing a new tool for the next mission Watch as his eye light, when reaching for a tool That's new to the market sitting on display It's no longer about simple fun in an old cardboard box It will be tools from now till his dying day

I love this poem because it is very true. It also sends the message that our jobs can be reflected by what we had done as children ( even though I am still just a teen myself)
