How To Mend a Broken Heart

To mend a broken heart you need
Some sticky tape and glue
Electric drill and hammer
And a quite substantial screw

Collect up all the shattered shards
And stick each damaged part
Wrap them up in tape and soon
You’ll have a working heart

But, if you’ve tried this method
And the technique’s not been mastered
Forget the hurt, put on your shirt
Then go out and get plastered
