"When I am big, I'm going to be
a hammer-driving man.
Therefore each day I'm practicing
on everything I can.
I've nailed the pictures to the wall;
The carpets to the floor.
I've added here and there a nail
To all our paneled doors.
An now with only one nail left
Whatever shall I do?
Nail mother's best dress to the wall
Or Daddy's Sunday Shoe?"
