Ode to Tape


O ye gentle roll,
Work well and strong
Be what I wish ye to be,
Whatever it may be

Be a sword, shield, or axe
Or a halberd black as night
Perhaps a wallet, or perhaps a flower for a lady?
Just don’t be a disappointing lump.

If ye be a repair, hold strong.
If ye be a sword, never tarnish.
If ye be a flower, keep your appeal
Tape, ye may be anything.

Anything and everything.
Holder of Heaven and Earth,
I beseech you, Great Wheel!
Keep Heaven and Earth together!

I wrote this about one of the few loves of my life: duct tape. Its one of my older works and one of my favorite works.

Thanks everybody! I try my hardest to create good work. I'll try and come up with some better works.

I like how you can write something that is captivating about something people take for granted, like duct tape...

We, we are the bitter bucolic!
If I have to give my life you can have it!
We, we are the PULSE OF THE MAGGOTS!

:lol: It's nice stuff. I have Aloe Vera growing in my front yard. I've never had to use it, though. It looks nice.

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name..."

Yeah. It's also nice to look at. It has a pretty reddish-colored flowers, which are in bloom right about now.
