The Inkwell

from inkdrop – poetry, places and events

Ode to an allen key
Daily writing prompt
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

It came as a bit of a jigsaw

with screws and wood-plugs and all

planks that made up a bookshelf

i didn’t need to give dad a call

But while wood plugs they fitted just nicely

the wood screws were a bit of an ask

what kind of driver – for these funny shaped screws

i perused the instructions for the task

On its own in its cardboard box

was the friend i’d be using – to make the screws lock

and as i turned allen key the screws nice and snug

kept the shelves tight – like a bug in a rug
