    Ode to My Leatherman

    Leatherman, Leatherman, where did you go?

    This morning I held you and now you no-show,

    Did anyone borrow you? Does anyone know?

    If somebody stole you, to hell they will go.

    Leatherman, Leatherman, where are you now?

    I need you, I want you, I miss you, and how.

    I miss the feel of your stainless blade steel

    Your holder is empty, how sad now I feel

    Somewhere on site, a Leatherman cries

    For its owner to find where it silently lies,

    Among good people who work side-by-side,

    And hope they will never have to say their goodbyes

    To their...

    Leatherman, Leatherman Oh where did you go?

    Senorita, Senorita, have you seen my Makita?
