Workaround

My brain is made from a hundred gears, 
but to understand and fix it could take years.
Though it might have a divot or a ding,
or suddenly launch a little spring,
because it's in that kind of shape,
I just use baling wire and duct tape.

Yes, I think you're right. I was trying to go on the cheap. I'm going to change it immediately!
