N8ivWarrior: As requested, an ode to duct tape

And a little over the edge.

As requested, an ode to duct tape

Published Friday, January 20, 2006 by John Burkholder | E-mail this post

To be perfectly honest, I have NEVER written an ode so this will be an entirely new experience for me. I actually had to read up on how to write an ode in the 30 minutes I have, and write it as well. Please do not bash the ode newbie on the 10 line stanza ode. This will also be my last entry for the week of duct tape. I have never dedicated so much time to a single product.

So, in response to shafftrac I present

Ode to Duct Tape

Where is my precious duct tape

With it's shiny gray exterior?

For round is the only shape

with bonding so superior.

It sticks to walls

and make some clothes

For all of us to wear.

It repairs ballsand patches hose

and even removes back hair.

Where is my precious duct tape

to fix my car interior?

I need to cover a scrape

with motives so ulterior.

I need to lose a wart,

tape the phone,

and I need to fix the fan.

I need some arch support,

as I groan,

as I hold to my beer can.

Where is my precious duct tape

to meet my every need?

I have to make my duct tape cape

and tape up my own seed.

It's strength is strong,

with fabric core

and plastic backing.

How do I long

for some of your

duct tape for my packing.

Ode to Duct Tape

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Do NOT ask me to make another ode. I will be freestyle writing again tomorrow. Thanks for a great week of duct tapedness!
