Time and Rain

Father wanted to teach me How to use the box of tools The hammer for nails, the saw For cutting objects Years went by and the shed fell Exposing the box to rain Corroding all within it Everything has rust Russell Sivey Entrant into ^Rick Parise, "Rust" contest 12/22/2011

Lovely entry for Rick's contest, Russell. You sound like me - I'm hopeless at DIY (luckily, my wife is very practical)

I like the short method you used to do a poem on Rust. Cleverly done. My mind is a complete blank right now for this contest!
