Loose Rail by the Pen

The pen rail wobbled under Spike's soft shoulder like a question mark.

Suzy looked for why — not for who to blame.

Clue one: a pin half out of its hole.

Clue two: fresh rub marks where a goat had leaned.

Clue three: the next rail sat true — only this one asked for help.

Adventure Cap wanted a chase. Care said mend first.

Thinking Cap habit: notice, then fix. Cap does not tighten pins by magic.

Tools reminded: seat the pin, check the neighbour rail. Tools did not push alone.

Suzy seated the pin home and tested with a soft push until the rail stayed.

Kids: if a chair wobbles, look for the loose foot before you sit hard.

Lead mends before the lean gets loud.

Little Thunder kept mahogany distance from wobbly rails.

Pin home. Rail true. Soft end.

Notice. Seat. Test soft.
