Little by little, it’s taking shape:
Not quite ready though.
A bit of this, bit of that, bit of the other thing:
got to get it all just so.
With a tiny tweak here, and a slight tap there:
don’t need that part, better check this part,
nothing too radical, twiddling till it’s
Spot on, top to toe.
2.
Won’t be long now. Softly, softly:
take it nice and slow.
Tighten up this one; easy on that one.
Oops! Hello, hello.
That needs adjusting: much too wobbly.
Half a twist; just a touch; take it down a tiny bit.
Nearly got it– baby-steps, baby-steps –
Careful now – Oh no!
3.
Back to square one: preparation’s everything.
Can’t start till you know
you’ve covered it all from every angle:
but mustn’t get too gung-ho.
Polish up that bit. What’s that doing there?
Need to replace this, take it easy, no rush:
missed a bit, go back, start again, get it right.
Every single thing needs checking:
Get those ducks in a row.
4.
Time for a quick break, figure out what’s next:
Might be that, although…
It could be this, but it might be something else…
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo.
What about?… not sure…or maybe it’s the other…no
This needs…better just…mustn’t get distracted.
Bit less…that’s it…not quite…one more…
almost there now…just about…last minute…
Right, now, tally-ho!
Finally, after all that tinkering,
It’s giddy up, off we…Whoa!
What’s that? Too late? Can’t be. I thought…
Oh dear. …Time’s up? I hadn’t noticed.
Where did it all go?
