A Musical Carpenter

I met a man with a level head

Pounded red by the sun

Underneath which he hammers all day

With the speed of a woodpecker

And a jazzy, syncopated rhythm

Accompanied by his virtuoso whistling

That has given his lips vertical lines

Though he's only 19

And when he sleeps

He dreams of red cedar

With a grain that is perfectly straight

Measured twice and cut once
