Dull Blade

Kept it sharpened

This saw of mine.

Can lay the tallest tree

Right beside my feet.

 

Not a frivilous saw,

Just when it's needed.

Never waste a tree,

Only when necessary.

 

O tree man

Won't you sharpen me.

I have been neglected,

Please have pity on me.

BLADE IS WISE TO ASK FOR PITY, 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A 'DULL' BLADE...TO 'NOT' GET THE JOB DONE! THANKS FOR THE SHARING DITTY THAT WAS ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

as for my saw, its teeth have been in use for the last three decades. . . it has cut up several thousand trunks; yet its band is as shiny and sharp as if it just came from the whetstone. Yes, I should also write an Ode of this miraculous phenomenon ;)) Cheers, alex

The same could be said for some of my friends. Not the sharpest tools in the toolbox.

You switch from describing tree maintenance etiquette to the saw, crying out to its owner in the third stanza.

Memories of my brother sharpening the blades on the chain for his chainsaw every so often. He had a wood stove so he used it a lot stockpiling wood to season. Enjoyed!

Love ya!
