In 1947 Leo returned from The War
\nPurchased a table saw and joiner
\nWelded a steel stand to support them<\/p>\n
He married made the first television
\nIn Denver built his house board by board
\nThat table saw grinding blade after blade<\/p>\n
Chewed and chewed upon pine oak cedar ply
\nRepaired televisions for forty years
\nColorblind though he was<\/p>\n
Built his daughter\u2019s walnut wedding dais
\nSolid as rock beautiful as daisies
\nBy then the table saw forty years old<\/p>\n
When I received the machine
\nIt was over sixty has gone another fifteen
\nLeo watching me half those years<\/p>\n
Tables cabinets ukuleles chessboards
\nAnd on the side of the steel stand
\nA storage bin holds literally<\/p>\n
Every weary blade that saw spit out
\nFor the life of me I cannot
\nBear to part with even one of them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
