All Because of A Nail, My Dear Watson

I've had just enough time to...   ponder on what a nail can do

Taken of the little nail that caused a lot of havoc

A nail, a tyre, a delay,

A business lost

It is all in the details, my dear Watson

For want of a nail a battle was lost

I’ve a problem, Master Sherlock

It is you who said - Don’t sweat the small stuff

Did I?

You did!

Well, that is a different story

In a different setting

Under different circumstances

We think differently

But how does one know

When to paint in big strokes

And when to notice of

The missing of a hair?

The tea is brewing, dear Watson

A cup of tea in the afternoon

That is a big picture

And to brew the perfect cup –

Practice, practice, till perfect, my dear Watson

For Want of a Nail

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.

For want of a shoe the horse was lost.

For want of a horse the rider was lost.

For want of a rider the message was lost.

For want of a message the battle was lost.

For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
