The pretentious poetry of a third grader

Ode to scotch tape dispenser

Dispense to us your tape
…that has nothing to do with scotch
Glue’s sticky friend
Fix the things that we botch

We love you during the holidays
…yet ignore you in January
Transparent – yes
And yet… still extraordinary

Scotch tape dispenser
You keep us all intact
Help us with our mistakes
And the things in which we lack
