DESCRIPTION
The boss says —
The center is —

Good workmen then served two masters
One a man, the other a craft

A fine-edged tool biting life-long into wood
An ownership planing a system smooth
until all is fair and square
And both have earned their title

Honest John

But balance hangs
on neither wood nor paper

Rather on male circumstances, the challenge of sharp edges
Honest contacts understood

Honest John
Knowing his men
Knowing his friends
Handling himself and his circumstances
