cut me some slack

[TranquillityBase]

I really identified with this poem.  My critique: the poem seems to start out talking about something very specific, e.g. craft, and I'm thinking you mean writing poems, but then it goes kind of universal and it's a sudden switch.  Guess I'd like more specifics or a more gradual shift, if that makes any sense.

I scratched my head a bit at "peg legs"
