Tools
Put disdain on a shelf
Low and within reach
Where we won't forget
Its threat, its imminence.
Hang up scolding on its hook
Where at the ready
We must ever maneuver past
Trying not to disturb it.
And in this box go
Blame and burden
Clearly labeled for easy access
They are handy to have near.
For now is peace time, so
Everyone smile nice and bright
Or I will have to retrieve
All the utilities I keep
To teach you to revere me.
