Best Duct Poems

i park my car
and i step outside
hoping that the quiet
will help me clear my mind
i always mend this way
but it didn't work this time

cus for a second
i look up at the stars
and it comes rushing in
just how small we are
that kind of self awareness scares...

I must admit that I ain't very handy with hammer and nails,
And am hopelessly at sea when figurin' technical details.
As to fixin' things with fancy tools, I haven't a clue,
But I'm a whiz at usin' duct tape, balin' wire and super glue!

Tho' it's somewhat unwieldly...

Do they make duct tape for a mother's heart
That breaks each time her child's emotions crash
Like waves against a rocky cliff?
A heart pitted by the tears shed
When other kids fling arrows of venomous disdain.
Can you glue a heart split open by
Empathy for the offspring who...

No matter how many tears I've shed,
You'll always haunt me.
There's nothing that will stop you
From torturing me.

Every promise you ever whispered
Was spoiled when it passed your lips.
Every lie I always believed.
I held my soul together with duct tape.

When you violated me, when you beat me
I'd...

In my husband's first pastorite
Had some young married men
Who were full of mischievousness

At a church social late one night
These young men disappeared
Out of everyone's sight

Out on the parking lot 
They did their deed
Duct taped the headlights (Another use for duct tape)

So when we did leave
They...

Duct Tape Will Fix Most Anything

By Elton Camp

It’s one of the most versatile products I’ve seen
Duct tape, whether it’s gray, brown or even green
Any cracked tiles you don’t really need to replace
A bit of sticky tape will hold them right in place

Is your radiator hose...

Tattered Grey -
  It bends against an unkind wind;
  An ugly thing so commonplace,
    Against a  leaky corner.
A thing so grand has never been
  So thin -
And yet it hangs;
Against the heavens weathered attempts
   To prove...

any man will tell you,
and handy women too,
one of the greatest gifts
that God gave man
something that nothing
it cannot do...

the magical, mystical
gift of duct tape
what a boon to man!
when you're ready to give up
you'll hear it whisper-
"but, yes,.....I can!!!!..."

it lies in drawers or
shelves
self-confident in its
great abilities
as...

What do you do when duct tape won’t fix it?
Y’know, when that “I got this” attitude is shattered
When it’s not things, or stuff, or “errors”
That require the questionable solutions of the “fixer”.
Souls are hard to comprehend and come without service manuals
No graphics or guidelines, no...

I fly this plane – a corsair model
It always responds when I pull back the throttle
Round and round and round it dashes
And then sometimes, somehow it crashes
Then I jump in – get her back in shape
With just blue paint and old duct tape

And I’ve got...

Duct Tape

Hello, how are you
I’m doing fine never mind
I’m dying on the inside
I’m nothing without you

The years, time hates me
With a crooked smile, turn the dial
Back to when you met me
To live it one more time

They lied, hearts don’t heal
Gotta cover up, make ‘em tough
With...

There is a giant piece of duct tape around my finger today,
To remind me to do something.
Probably important.
I used to keep a piece of string to do the same thing,
But it frazzled and frizzled and fell off after two days.
I know it must be insanely...

When a Woman insists that she does all the work
and the man does nothing
what is this condition called.
My Great Grand dad said it
was called "silly Bytch Syndrome"
but I have come to find
it is calle Female Imposter Syndrome.
Is it that she wishes
the maintaince of the home
to...
