The Glue Won’t Fix It

It’s extremely intricate to make

Small things like toys and doll houses

Yet how menial to break

Just a kick, a punch or a tap from a hammer.

If you consider constructing difficult

The time and energy spent on it

You may as well as give up fixing

For it is yet more grueling.

You can, at no costs, use the glue

The edges will stay apart with a deep crack between

You’ll be back to square one with no clue

As to how to bridge the gap.

It takes undivided concentration

To scrutinize each and every jagged edge

It demands even more effort

For tinkering and joining them back.

Next time, before breaking your toy

Out of anger, spite or sorrow

Think, think and think again

Your toy will never be the same as before
