Ode to a Screwdriver













I got this red one from my dad

Way back in 2010.

It stayed with me through college.

I used it now and then.


It joined all my adventures

In Cali and then Greenland,

New Orleans then to Boston,

Where my kinship with it deepened


It was so important,

My old red 6-in-1 tool

To take apart pianos

While I attended trade school.


But years went by and we worked hard

And tho' 'twas hard to face it

The time eventually came

When I had to replace it.


My rosy pal was failing

The metal turned to jell-o

And so I bought another one

Hello yellow fellow!


What memories we may create

Well, we will have to see

We'll take on life together,

My screwdriver and me!
