Rela-Clip-ity

Albert Einstein needed a clip,
A paper clip to be precise.
He found one, but it would not grip,
Being a badly bent device.
His assistant then joined the hunt,
And in a drawer was found a case
Of new paper clips, right up front.
Using a new clip as a brace,
Einstein fixed the first clip he'd found.
His assistant asked why just not
Discard the old clip. The renowned
Einstein then replied with this thought,

"Once I'm on a project mind set,"
"I work until that goal's been met."
