Broken Up Or In Wanting

Broken discarded, dumped dysfunctional
    castaways litter our intolerant greed
    for perfection in performance.
But, busted and defective can be charming,
    comfortable, endearing,
Like old shoes and jumpers worn to threads.
We learn the tricks and the work-around
    to bypass the bugs, shortcomings and faults.
Rather like we deal with taddy bits of family and friends,
Such yielding adaptation, with tolerance and patience
   avoids the inevitable annoyance
   of new-fangled replacements
   with their tiresome assembly, installation and instructions.
Look around you, everything is broken, 
   old and decrepit, cantankerous in some way or other.
New or old, broken, or wanting, to be broken in.
