David Smith Poet Light Verse

The Benefits of Whittling

Whittling can bring blood pressure down,
Whittling can bring your wood pile down,
Whittling can bring the noise level down,
Whittling can bring the number of negative thoughts down,
Whittling can bring the cost of a whistle down,
Whittling can bring others who need an excuse to sit down.

Whittling can bring the number of positive thoughts up,
whittling can bring the number of friends you have up,
Whittling can bring down the chance of a costly break-up,
Whittling can bring time to put your feet up,
Whittling can bring happy memories up
Whittling can bring your age level up.

Mystic Rose Rose September 15, 2021 at 4:25 AM I used to go watch the seniors at the center whittling away, and was always amazed at some of the creative objects they would create. Thankyou for writing about it, have a great day David David Smith September 16, 2021 at 3:07 AM Thanks for that Mystic Rose Rose. It is really relaxing. I think knitting might be similar and there are a number of men into it now. Cheers David in NZ
