Tinkering Time

in the shop with hardware and bits of wood can make almost any man feel useful, good a screwdriver, a drill, some papered sand away from day-to-day, simply out of demand just tinkering around with piddling things the easy satisfaction messin' 'round brings no major renovation, or building earthworks just little improvements, near anonymous perks unsqueaking a hinge, maybe unstick a drawer fittingly better is what tinkering's for whether it's the thing of attention being repaired or the man doing the labor, it's hard to declare so too, it can be with words on page or a screen to ensure understanding, say exactly what you mean a glued letter, word oiled, or nailing a phrase brings the writer satisfaction of all he surveys so I continue to tinker a little bit more on a few couplet lines, with no guarantor that I'll illicit from you, oh diligent reader understanding or joy, from this rambling meter but that is a small sideline to most of my tinkers it's time tinkering matters to meandering thinkers © Goode Guy 2011-05-23
