One Half

A sailboat floats without a sail.
It’s like a shovel minus pail
Or else a hammer sans a nail,
One half of what is needed.

A tennis court without a net,
An error made with no regret;
A workout lacking any sweat,
A rye bread that’s unseeded.

A birthday passing with no cake,
A pile of leaves without a rake.
In every case, a true mistake
If no one interceded.
