Rigid Tool

Case hard tool
                                                held by a stupid fool,
                                    doesn’t know what to do with it now.

                               Looked for a soft application on a brown cow,
                              tried hard to hook it up on a bristle legged sow,
                                    got kicked in the head by a lazy mule.

                                               The fit was not so cool.
                                                          Rigid tool

Great poem, John! Got a good laugh from Chris's comment below, too. To manually center this, just put a period on the first line. You'll be able to manually center all the rest. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn
