My Grandpa's Tool Bench

My grandpa has a tool bench With gadgets, tools and such Shiny metal objects And things I cannot touch Lots of different wrenches Hammers, saws and pliers Putty knives and levels Scissors, rope and wires Many rows of little jars Filled with nails and screws Each one labeled perfectly In case you need to choose He says someday he’ll teach me How to handle all this stuff But right now I can only look Until I’m tall enough.

How cute! And how well you describe the 'tool look' my man has and Father had. This is perfect for children, absolutely adorable, and for me, as an adult, it is another perfect gem of a joy to read! All the best ... CayCay

Kitty, my grandfather used to have a tool bench just like this but that was long ago. Thank you for the memories. John
