Oh the Lowly Hammer

By Robert W. Cluney


Oh the lowly hammer

It's a toy, a tool, and instrument, a symbol

In the hand of a child, it's like the one daddy has

In the hand of a craftsman, it crafts works of art

In the hand of a tradesman it builds cities

In the hand of a revolutionary, it destroys all
