I think that I shall never see
A tool as useful as a key.
A key that when it's placed at rest
Sits uncomplaining in a pocket or on a desk.
A key that turns a lock’s tumblers from within
And saves me from calling out, open up, let me in.
Yes, poems are written by hair-brained people like me
But only a locksmith can make a key.
