Why The String?...

The pink spool of yarny string
Can be useful for many different things.

It may seem to be nonfunctional,
But it may help to make a contraption quite punctual.

The end of the string is frayed,
That can be quickly cut off and changed.

There are parts of it that are tangled.
A small child could have caused it to become mangled.

It seems that playing in a sandbox is an understandable assumption.
Maybe it got wedged at a junction.

I'm not too sure why it smells like soap...
That kiddo dropped it in the sink, I hope.

Looking at this uninteresting object
Can really get your brain thinking of a project.

It could simply be making crafts,
Or even braiding ropes for rafts.

Who ever knew string could have so many uses?
You could tie a water bottle around your neck with it to hold your juices.

People always unravel more than they need.
Maybe they thought it would help them take the lead

In one of the competitions they partake.
It can make learning to tie a knot a piece of cake.

I had absolutely no idea this string was so handy,
Even though it may be a little sandy.
