Like a fresh plank,
you varnish with coat after coat,
but what you should note,
no matter how many coats,
the knots just won't..
Disappear,
they will just hide and screw deep,
then later on when the wood is old,
the worms crawl out form the depths,
and rott your world cold...
And muddled,
you long for the Ivy's cuddle,
to keep you up right,
despite is constant side affects,
you need varnish coated with a shovel!
