Dangerous

For weeks I've waited
For you to hang
A picture for me.

It wouldn't take much effort -
Just a hammer and a nail.

I could've done it myself,
But that's beside the point.
So I guess
I'll just have to admire it from
Where it rests on the floor.

Besides,
I don't really think
You'd want to see me
With a hammer in my hand!
