About two weeks ago, I posted a Live Journal Contest in which I’d give away $20 cold cash to the person that submitted the best poetry about Duct Tape.
Today that contest closed, with the winner being announced.
Here’s the winning entry:
-
Ode to Duct Tape
by Rob
With your shiny silver sheen
of all that I have ever seen
you are the most amazing thing
your super sticky side
makes me burst with manly pride
from keeping diapers from bursting forth
to hanging siding on the porch
from keeping bloody guts inside
to removing hair from my hide
need a way to fix the whole in the clothes you wear
our friend duct tape will be there
whether patch, thread, suture, or wire
duct tape will always aspire
of all the sticky things you do
this tape is definitely for you
