Johnny Sumler Poet Tanka

Glue

Oh what shall I do
To keep you from leaving me
What about this glue?
I could mix it in a bag...
Hoping to hold onto you

Reach inside and stick
To me always, bag and hand
What a dirty trick
To keep you and not let go
Yet I'm slapped and called a prick!

Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2011 at 12:21 AM Do you remember the old children's rhyme, I am rubber you are glue, what bounces off me sticks on to you? Don't know why this made me think of THAT silly thing, but this was a fun and interesting one to come across!
