The Essence of Homebuilding
a schmaltzy little homily to our successful marriage of 32 & a bit years:
In Our time
We have fathomed
the intricacies
of Measurement
and Angle,
conquered the
Everest of
Plastering
& painted whole worlds
Many colours, many times over.
We have
Mastered the
Logic of tiling,
Plumbed the ancient
Mysteries of water,
Sanded, chiselled, nailed
& screwed to make things fit AND stay there!
Only to discover, at the end
Of all this sweat & toil
That the essence of home-building is…
the Level. @
