Come Unstuck

My 8 year old Nokia E72 came undone
The screen came loose and had to be glued
I wrapped tape round it to hold it in place
Hoping my glue fix does the job
4th time I’ve fixed it this way
The first 2 times was with superglue
This’s fine except when you drop it
Something flexible is needed that bounces
So I used Evo-stik borrowed from a gluesniffer
Who was sniffing under the bridge
Then I fixed my old skool phone
I pulled the screen apart and jumped to it
Using a knife to carefully put glue on both sides
The answer will be given in a few hours when it sets
If it’s ed I’ll burn it then bury it
Give it the sendoff it deserves
Filmed for posterity and YouTube
But I want it to live to fly to work to be fine
Time will tell for I want 8 more months use
Until its Yule and Nokia E73 time
My dear old E72 replaced by the E73
Keeping my tradition of having an 8 year old phone
Which I want to be as strong as my old E71
It was drop proof and built like a tank
Not unlike the pretty and dainty E72
That comes apart like a 2 bit whore
All will be eclipsed when I get a newbie
A remake of the famous Nokia 3310
Old skool cool I so want now
Before then it’s fun with myE72 if it survives
My glue fix operation Heath Robinson style
