Working together

 

Two gnomes seem to

be asking themselves

what to do with the stool

saw or cut?

 

“It’s very big, I shiver

just looking at it.”

“Maybe we get it down

doing it bit by bit.”

 

“We’d best handle the saw

together. We’d only need

to push and pull,

that way we must succeed.

 

And if we do the job

while singing a song

our strength will grow

so it wont take long

 

to finally get it down.”
