I am a sheradised annular nail -

which means I am sturdy and stable.

I fix down wood; try do it

with as minimal damage as able.

A sheradised nail is reasonably tough,

and resistant to watery harm -

not so tough as her galvanised chums,

but convinced this is part of her charm.

I try to keep hidden away - out of sight

so things on the surface won't snag.

I don't like to catch, or hurt anyone -

not even snag littlest rags.

No one considers the annular nail,

because it's not meant to be seen.

If it is, it's considered a nuisance,

and replaced where the old one had been.

Fits together much more tightly now. I like it, too. And it's a great idea.

You've tightened up the rhythm and conciseness, AE, and the 'humble-inconspicuous-service' metaphor comes out. Rhiannon
