One Half

A sailboat floats without a sail.

It’s like a shovel minus pail

Or else a hammer sans a nail,

One half of what is needed.

 

A tennis court without a net,

An error made with no regret;

A workout lacking any sweat,

A rye bread that’s unseeded.

 

A birthday passing with no cake,

A pile of leaves without a rake.

In every case, a true mistake

If no one interceded.
