Ironmongery

Ironmongery

Hose clamps, glue, and gaskets along Aisle Ten,
Mower blades next to the metric wrenches,
Motor oil further over, then back again,
Close to the folding rules, marked in inches;

Bolts, hammers, drills, saws, a misplaced wing nut:
Great fun for the craftsman to pause longer,
Among the motors, chisels, and nails - but
What, then, one asks, does iron really monger?
