The Toolbox I chasten my tool box of woe It harbored my imperfections Screwdriver tighten my morals Garden shear for tougher measures Wrench that will grasp goodness within Hammer to smash my wrongdoings Scissors cut away my failures Pliers to hold my character Lock my virtuous surrender Key my consent for it to be. 2020 May 16

This is so creative and imaginative---but grounded in reality. Good to see something like a toolbox featured in a poem. The Soup can use a dose, or at least a dash, of masculinity, methinks. (I know; I know. Women can handle tools just as well as men can. Yadda-yedda...) Here's to us guys for a change. ~ gw
