A Project Finished
For every table that is done
There is an uncompleted one
Waiting to be finished some day
And finally be put on display
The uncompleted gathers dust
In the shop with blades that rust
As reminders that carpentry
Is harder than it appears to be
A chair may still need some screws
Or a table some extra glue
The projects so close but so far
To becoming what they almost are
Whether oak or yellow pine
The projects vary in design
Waiting to be finally through
And take their place in a dining room
Many projects are finally completed
With the work that is needed
And serve to remind
Most good things take some time
