Take a stunning photograph

an impressive and picturesque scene

Alpine snow capped mountains

the prettiest sunset you've ever seen

 

Paint a beautiful work of art

A vast ocean in every shade of blue

Sketch an English landscape

hills, fields and trees, a famous view

 

Select your favourite picture

cut into shapes, a thousand parts

Place them all in a box

this is when the real magic starts

 

Find a wooden board

this time, size really does matter

Shuffle the pieces around

turn them face up whilst you scatter

 

First the corner pieces

carefully follow the picture clues

Pick out the straight edges

place together in matching hues

 

Such a simple process

interlocking shapes piece by piece

After just a few hours

you have recreated a masterpiece

 

Grab yourself a jigsaw

a lovely way to occupy your day

A puzzling distraction

to keep those Covid blues at bay

 

Like pieces of a jigsaw

every person plays their part

United, joined together

creating a seamless work of art
