I have a small secret love in my life, A marriage I love to do, It’s when I use the stapler, Making one grouped sheet from two. The heavy duty mechanical, The straight, to big, to small, I love the crunch of bending steel, The papered wedding, I love it all. And at special times there’s 5 sheets or more, A bunch to join as one. Then, when the pile of paper’s so big, I use the electric staple gun. My small secret I keep so quiet, I never want to create a scene. I just quietly work my job, 9 to 5, With the photocopy machine. Written 15th March 2017 on a whim for John Lawless' contest
