Duct tape is like the force: It has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together.
- Carl Zwanzig

Tuesday, April 24, 2007

keep those tatter'd shoes of leather,
thrift store chairs with cracks in pleather,
shower rods with missing hooks,
binders thinn'd from reading books;
labels for your compact disks,
take off lint with a quick "whisk-whisk"
bandaid for a big ol' cut,
hold up pants to cover butt,
attach a splint to fractur'd limb
re-attach wall paper trim,
home need fixin' don't fret none
duct tape helps y'all git er done!

Ah! My Buddy the Aflack Duck love that character
all bonded up in duct tape
I wish I had duct tape when I was a kid
I used to cover the holes in the bottom of my shoes
With pieces of carpet, that people discarted
Gee! Should I thank you for those unthought memories I had not in decades??????
But I still enjoyed your write
Thank You Sis

Love & Peace
William

Hee, hee, Cute write...
My brother-in-law really believes in the D tape
He tried to stop a leak on the tire stem with duck tape,
didn't work.
Thanks for your review...

Now that is the best quote I've ever seen - I'm framing it and hanging it on the wall - with duct tape, of course!
