The Shed

It was just a small project

Least that’s what I thought

When I came up with this brilliant plan

A shed for the wife,

Where she’ll do her ceramics

If  I build it, she’ll think “What a man!”

So I started out simple

A foundation of blocks

And a few 2 by 8 floor joists here

And some 2 by 4 studs

16 penny nails

And some OSB sheets. Oh dear.

And some deck screws of course

And some rafter clips too

And some windows I guess would be good

And before I said Howdy

My dang pickup truck

Was loaded with 2 tons of wood

Then some roof panels next

And the outlets for juice

Of course it would have to have power

A big role of Romex

Some finishing nails

A window box for some dang flowers?

A proper slab door

And tar paper too

And drywall, and primer and paint

And workin all day

in the hot August sun

More water! I’m feeling quite faint.

So the Shed Mahal rises

Each day after day

It seems to go ever so slow

I just hope that maybe

I’ll have it complete

By the time we get the first snow.
