Back For Renewals

Workman Abe always left his tools for you.
His hammer, his level, his wrench, his nails.

His electric drill, clamps, vice grips, screws too
Left them hither and yon, habit never fails.

From Timbuktu to Hackensack his stuff he lends. 
Some called him up to give him back his stuff.

Unconcerned, he said that’s okay; keep them my friends.
Workman Abe simply did not care, his habits rough.

If he came back to do another job, of course he left his tools.
Knowing that you might call him back; worked well for renewals.
