Approaching home improvement with a plan,
I marshaled funds and interviewed four pros.
I paid attention to what can’t and can
be done, and chose a team that surely knows
construction, plumbing, wiring, paint and tile.
I backed off then to see what they could do.
And most their work showed expertise and style,
except for wall mounts slightly out of true.

Complaining gently to the gardener –
how could they fail to note a crooked cant? –
he clucked as if he heard my words for sure,
and then installed the planter box aslant.

Perhaps straight edges aren’t meant to be;
I guess I’ll call my house “Infinity.”
