O Captain, My Carpenter


Plan it,

Build it,

Fix it, 

And Install.

Working Hard

For yourself

answering no one's call.

You've inspired me to do my best

refuse to rest 

and not be so hard shelled.

Never judge and always help

Thank you John Burden

you're the best mentor out there

you've given me a gift,

far greater than any

you let me work with you,

taught me plenty.

I thank you

and thank you again

from your apprentice with care

stay safe out there and stop losing your hair.
