Puzzle

A piece of ocean next to trees and sand Scattered across treated mahogany. Across a face, and a ship now unmanned, And rolling waves, fingers trip sloppily. Splitting the pile into organized stacks Here end pieces, there yellow, and here blue. Out of nowhere a playful cat attacks! Ocean falls like rain, every piece but two The cat bounds away leaving destruction. Scattered pieces, mangled ship thrown on beach Nothing but a picture for instruction. Marching forth, I took the puzzle by siege Gradually the pieces come together And are ready for your viewing pleasure
