THE CELL

Though iron bars may hold me

My spirit still flies free.

I shall grow ever upward

Like the branches of a tree.

AN ARM AND A LEG

(An Acrostic)

A Carpenter in days gone by

Never merely made a chair

*

Also included were extra 'limbs'

Representing, each, a spare.

Money was scarce in those far-off days

*

And nothing was neglected;

Nothing was 'throw-away' back then;

Decades of wear were expected.

*

As arms and legs might wear out first

*

Leaving the owner short,

Each Carpenter supplied the spares;

(Greater profits, I'd have thought!)
