THE DRAFTSMAN

They gave me a job to draw today,

with a hole and a couple of grooves,

It's only a cleat that goes under a door,

to restrain it whenever it moves.

I could stetch it up with a couple 

of lines, and put in a size or two,

But that wouldn't show

even half what I know,

So I'm sure it never would do.

So I'll cut it all up into sections,

with a symbol beside every part,

And I want to be sure that I make it obscure,

as to where the machining will start.

Then it's time to put on the dimensions,

and that's when I really unload,

For I'll mark all the lines

with mysterious signs,

That an Einstein could never decode.

Now my drawing is finished and printed,

and I'm proud of its hazy design,

For I know there'll be chaos and ulcers,

when it finally comes out on the line.

And a feeling of pride starts stirring inside,

as my tracing is filed on the shelf,

For my quest has been solved

with a print so involved

That I can't even read it myself.
