I will complete something…..eventually

I’m sick of hearing about folk making dining tables out of matchsticks or knitting settees. Ok I admit I’m jealous

I will complete something…..eventually

First there was the knitting, it should have been a scarf
Got fed up quite quickly, before I’d done a half
Then to make a nightie, therapeutic when you sew
Asked if the theory worked for me, I must admit it’s no

Attempt to do a sculpture, my image chipped in plaster
Result was hurled upon a shelf, another huge disaster
As I’d signed up for classes and hate to waste my money
I gave the potters wheel a whirl, made a dish to hold my honey

This was so deformed, that no self-respecting bee
Would want her hard work displayed, in a bowl, that’s thrown by me
I won’t bore you with more details, hadn’t realised I’d tried
And failed to do many things, a huge blow to my pride

I then acquired black plastic bag, to conceal my unsuccessful past
After hiding them for many years, I set them free at last
Secretly and stealthily they made their final trip
Then with a final sad goodbye, I left them at the tip.
