Utilitarian Beauty: A Riddle The beautiful black and yellow handle, Is placed above its shiny silver shaft, And reflecting the light of a candle, A tribute to the toolmakers craft. You can use it to make a wooden raft, If you possess a hundred thousand screws, Or you can use it to seal a cold draft, By permanently shutting up the flews. A tool used by a multitude of crews, It comes in a variety of heads, A tool that excites a poet’s muse, When used to open a bottle of meds. This all purpose tool has a simple name, That belies a screwdriver’s worldwide fame.
