A Celebration of Water-Hose Clamps
“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”
― Cicero 1
Poets have been mysteriously silent 2
On the subject of water-hose clamps
Small cylinders or rings, threaded for compression
In mending or nozzling a garden hose
Thus if you have a clamp, you have a hose
In need of mending, and if you have a hose
You have a garden in need of watering
And if you have a garden, you are much blest
And in your garden you can drowse over a book
While meditating upon water-hose clamps

Only a real gardener could write a poem about hose clamps.
