Alone in a Garage

One foot
It’s the length that matters
When the job is done.

Two foot
It’s the material that matters
When the job is done.

Three foot
It’s the height that matters
When the job is done.

Four foot
It’s the place that matters
When the job is done.

Five foot
It’s the twist that matters
When the job is done.

Six foot
It’s the reason that matters
When the job is done.

Seven foot
It’s the knot that matters
When the job is done.

Eight foot
Does it really matter
After the job is done.
