A Hammer-Driving Man

When we were kids, we had to learn poems and stories that had to be recited at programs attended by our parents and other people from the community. One that my brother Lloyd did when he was 7 years old was:

"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?"
