Squeaking of the Brace and Bit...
Dipped in oil.
Tapping joints to rest is satisfying.
Always time to hang out with visitors.
His significant other always helping.
Slow and steady Old World Archimedean winning.
Wood Thrushes fluting...
As background music.
The tattoo of a wooden mallet...
is rhythmic, and pleasing.
Cicadas droning in the background...
Add drama and grit.
Victorious laughter as the joint goes home.
The omnipresent present Building Inspector inspecting.
Mr Chickadee puts a penny in the joint...
He knows the power of magic.
Lincoln would be proud.
Round peg in a round hole...
Is beauty carved small.
Mr Chickadee forces no music, no motor machine noise, and absolutely no chatter on us.
In this age of fast everything, this is a reminder that some things are best SLOW. Slow food, slow drives in the country, slow days, etc. Slow may be catching on, slowly.
