Strife and Skin Chafing

 

Title is Mister;

Boards nailed and paint mixing,

Work, the people’s mission;

Without, something’s missing.


Started in glory;

High, replete with glamor,

Now a bore and gloomy;

What it was, a glimmer.


For man’s fate chosen

By an apple, choking

All down, a new chapter

Of strife and skin chafing.


But from no relief,

Man’s good work was renewed;

Through skilled trade and repair,

A Carpenter redeemed.
