DAD'S INTEGRATION


A piece of board,
A bit of shoe,
A hammer
And a nail or two.

I sit and puff upon my pipe
And wonder if the time is ripe?

The shambles
Of a broken chair,
A mahogany sheaf
Of banister to spare.

That spring still works
If you push it hard,
I could use it
As a pressure guard.

How may I assemble these
My inner self to truly please?

Wheels go 'round,
Lights pop on,
The answer, it
Will surely come.

Eureka!! I just found it!
