As requested, an ode to duct tape

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!

My Rare Political Statement...Illegal Immigrants

This is a long post. However, it addresses BOTH sides of the immigration issue. The actual bill as it was received in the Senate from the House. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:h4437rfs.txt.pdf In a nutshell, here is what the bill provides (ref: Wikipedia ): · Requires up to 700 miles (1100 km) of fence along the US-Mexican border at points with the highest number of immigrant deaths. (House Amendment 648, authored by Duncan Hunter ) · Requires the federal government to take custody of illegal aliens detained by local authorities. This would end the practice of "catch and release", where federal officials sometimes instruct local law enforcement to release detained illegal aliens because resources to prosecute them are not available. It also reimburses local agencies in the 29 counties along the border for costs related to detaining illegal aliens. (Section 607) ·

What is it About Shoes?

I just have to know. What is it about shoes? I own five pairs of shoes and I can tell you where they are located at any given point in time. Each of them has a purpose. I have a black pair of tie-up shoes used for work and only work. In fact, they stay in my locker at work. The second pair of shoes are basically a backup for the first pair. They are slip on Dexter loafers in black and brown. Multifunctional and works with nearly every outfit. Third are my Nike Air Monarchs. I use these for nearly everything casual including my daily trip to work. After arriving at work, I put on the shoes mentioned first. Next are the mowing sneakers. They are plain white New Balance and were the predecessor to the Monarchs. I use them when I am mowing. They are green. Lastly are my bowling shoes. Dexter bowling shoes. They cannot be worn outside of a bowling alley, so they stay in my bowling bag (lately without any usage at all). This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Why in the wor

Moving on and moving out

I have made an executive decision in my life today. MomofJenMatt is right about a very sensitive issue and I have been running it through my mind for most of the night. I am strongly against the support of child pornography and to be honest, Xanga could be considered as contributing to the distribution of child pornography. Therefore, this is my last post with Xanga. I am moving to http://www.blogger.com/ . Blogger.com is tied to/owned by Google. It is a little more complicated to use, but I figure I will get used to it. This is my new blog site: http://n8ivwarrior.blogspot.com/ I welcome you to join me, although anyone can read and comment on my blog. You do not need to be a member. I hereby resign the Viewer's Choice to LarsThunder. Thank you for viewing and good luck to you all.
