The carpenter
A middle-aged man, his skin so tan
Working in a corner filled with planks
Measuring device and pencil within reach
With full concentration, started to sketch.
Measure here and there, he continued his work
Carefully appraising a pile of wood
Then started wood marking, prepare for cutting
His expert hands guide the tools, kept on sliding.
Inspected the edges then assembled the pieces
Kept on measuring to avoid trivial mistakes
Sweat dripping, full strength applied to his tools
One after another, he created shaped articles.
Skilled and hardworking, carpenter is a builder
Artisan, handyman and also a problem solver
Attention to details so crucial to this worker
They deserve respect, decent pay like any other.
