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
