I AM A NAIL

 I AM A NAIL

I AM A NAIL IN
BOX ON THEĀ 
SHELF YOUĀ 
COME ALONGĀ 
AND BUY ME
YOU BUILDED
HOUSE YOUĀ 
HAMMER MEĀ 
IN THE FLOOR BY
THE DOORĀ  WHERE
I SIT FOR 100 YEARSĀ 
EVERY TIME THE DOOR
OPENS PEOPLE WALK
ON ME AND IT RAINS AND
THE SNOW GET ME WETĀ 
A 100 YEARSĀ  GOES BY AND HEARĀ 
THEY MAY REMODELĀ 
THIS OLD HOUSE SO TAKE MEĀ 
UP AND PUT MEĀ  IN PILE IN THE
CORNER WHERE ALL THE OTHER
BENT NAILS ARE NOW I AM JUST
NOTHER OLD BENT NAIL ON
MY WAY TO NAIL HEAVENĀ 
I WAS NAIL IN THE FLOOR
BY THE DOORĀ

Greg another imaginative and original write and beautifully presented through out.
One of those poems you just don't want to end to read on and keep reading.
A joy from its beginning to its heavenly nail end.Ā 
Full honours and gladfully given.
I wish you well and enjoy life and all the good it has to happily offer.
