Poor Little 2 x 4

By Marcie White

Poor little 2x4 the project all done. 

You don’t have to Pine just being the only one. 

You are really something special although your 2x4 friends help build our home. 

You will no longer sit until you warp and look domed. 

The clever woodworker sees a use for you. 

It’s a 2x4 Project and a story about how you were & became brand new. 

Leon saw you as a vase. 

Someone turned you into wooden lace. 

A world traveling Max stops long enough to saw and spin the lathe so now you are a Nut Cracker with style. 

Art made you a 2x4 stretcher so you can help a 2x4 friend become as long as a mile. 

You see your uses have no end. 

So rest on the shelf, the woodworker will be back again.

Return to Poetry etc.
