A Symphony of Sawdust and Wires

by Curtis Blais (with a little help from Copilot - AABB Rhyming Scheme)


Holes in the floor and holes in the ceiling

Wires are pulled with no sign of healing

They twist and they turn in wild directions

A sparky’s dream—or misdirections




Sawdust is thick, it clings to the air

It’s dirty in here, and dust’s everywhere

Old plugs and switches lie where they fell

A graveyard of gadgets, not working too well





Wires poke out like curious snakes

Switches move homes for renovation’s sake

Lights find new spots to brighten the scene

Shawn’s in the attic, threading between


We sweep and we sweep, but it’s never quite done

The dust keeps returning, like it thinks it’s fun

It’s gritty, it’s grimy, it’s stuck in our hair

It’s renovation life—messy but rare


A photo was snapped in the middle of grime

Curt, Brad, Yuri, and Shawn in their prime

Covered in sawdust, with tools in their grip

A crew in the chaos, mid-renovation trip


One LED shines in laundry room light

It looks so good—we hope they’re all right

The family room’s next, it’s ready to go

Progress is steady, though it feels painfully slow



We’re thankful each day for the work being done,

Though progress feels slow, we still find the fun.

The dust may be thick and the wiring a maze,

But step by step, we’re counting the days.


The finish line’s distant, it’s still far away,

Yet closer it gets with each passing day.

We dream of the moment the chaos will cease—

And our home will return to comfort and peace.
