    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this years ago about our local lumber yard. It was fun. It's sadly changed into greedy hands and no more coffee.

    THE OLD LUMBER YARD

    The old lumber yard is the place to be
    Comes in my friends that UI like to see
    They buy hammers,nails, tools and such
    Some's like me and doesn't buy that much

    You hear the sound of the saw go buzz
    A straighter board you never seen there wuz
    Hinges over here and pipe joints over there
    Buy just one nail they don't seem to care

    The girls inside are pretty, smart and fun
    Don't see how the yard guys get much done?
    A better cup of coffee, you won't ever see
    Don't drink to much or you will hafta pee

    So if you've got a leaky roof
    Or a problem with your sink?
    If you need a new garage
    Or your toilets on the blink?
    Stop in give the girls your list
    She'll see what she can do?
    Unless you get the one I get
    Who doesn't have a clue.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
