Soon all the pieces with straight backs were in their proper order!
I worked a jigsaw puzzle.
It was good for me.
Why?   Because at first it was
one big mystery!

I stared and stared
and stared at it.
I wondered how I'd ever make
500 pieces fit.

I thought and I decided
to start off with the border.
Soon all the pieces with straight backs
were in their proper order.
Then I started filling in
and making blocks I spotted.
Some were sky, they all were blue.
The dogs were polka-dotted.

Sometimes I got frustrated.
Sometimes things went well.
Sometimes I was happy.
Sometimes I would yell.

But I kept on because
my uncle made a bet.
He said "You know the answer's there.
You just haven't found it yet."
