PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Some still now

     remember when

years ago

     it there stood

red enamel

     with handles of chrome

a polished top

     of finest wood

with drawers so large

     with tools filled

most carefully cleaned

     and put away

wrenches of chrome

     both tiny and large

some modified

     for particular jobs

and bars of brass

     most carefully shaped

that they did use

     in most curious ways

and how they did tell

     tales of old

in jobs they done

     over so many years

but now it’s gone

     just memories remain

of the red toolbox

     now they’re gone away
