CAUTION: CONSTRUCTION ZONE
Watch your step
You’re entering a hazardous area
Work gloves and hard hat required
You’ll have to speak up as I can hardly hear ya
A bulldozer clears the space
Subject matter is the cement foundation
Words form the framework
As the crane lowers an idea creation
I’m building a poem
A letter here, a vowel there
Adjectives, verbs, and nouns
A combination lyrically shared
Use that tape measure
Calculate how many syllables per line
Sanded down to flow smoothly
Coming along just fine
Measure twice
And cut once
No time for mistakes
And costing extra months
Swing that hammer
Push and pull that saw
The strangest construction zone
Mike Holmes ever saw
If OSHA wants to inspect
They’ll be welcomed with open arms
No on the job accidents here
No need for union alarm
Words strategically placed
Structured with poetic rhyme
Construction budget on course
Project completed on time
