The tools were all organized in my dad’s shed.

Always ready to level things out,

Hammer a nail,

Treat a plant when needed.

 

Never a need to worry about what might happen next,

There was a solution in the first shed,

And back up in the second,

All you needed was the key.

Carefully concealed to limit borrowers,

And undesirables who could not be trusted to return them.

 

Such as his children.
