An Ode To Duct Tape
any man will tell you,
and handy women too,
one of the greatest gifts
that God gave man
something that nothing
it cannot do...
the magical, mystical
gift of duct tape
what a boon to man!
when you're ready to give up
you'll hear it whisper-
"but, yes,.....I can!!!!..."
it lies in drawers or
shelves
self-confident in its
great abilities
as we do know, ourselves
but won't admit it
too openly....
if a machine breaks
down, or something
comes apart
just grab that roll
and to mend you
can now start....
I've just one
lingering question-
can it even mend a heart?
