Al Fresco Dining

Many parts of new table and chairs
scattered all around
Try my best to fix them together
no solution found

I struggle to align the drilled holes
the wrong size bolts sent
I will never get back all those hours
and wasted time spent

After a trip to the hardware store
new bolts fixed in tight
Sitting at my new table
dining al fresco tonight

Julie! This is lovely. Your poem made me giggle and smile. It is a unique quality to be able to tell a lovely story in a special way in few words-and you have got that quality. ?

Keep smiling.
Best wishes,
Rasa
