Hot Glue!
By Chris Peterson

Hot glue! Warm glue!
Curses! How I HATE you
Burning fingers ever mine
Spinning webs of glue fine

Fingers trembling, as I stare
At my dispenser in despair
I tried to glue this to that
And the gun replied tit-for-tat

Scorching my fingers
Pain that still lingers
Snared in a net
Of glue that met

The cooler room air
And so the glue dared
To cool over mine
In webs very fine

So dear sir, I say Hark!
Hear my warning bark!
For the glue lukewarm
Will cause fingers to mourn

About the old days, when the weren’t black n’ blue
So please sir, heed my warning to you
Stay away from the glue with “HOT” on the package
Or of feeling in your digits there will be a lack-age

I’m truly sorry for that lame last rhyme
I can’t think them up for every line
But this continuing poem is drivin’ me round the bend
So good-bye! Adios! For this is The End.
