An Ode to the (Low Temp) Hot Glue Gun

As a crafty sort of girl (referring to my fondness for making sock puppets and decoupage frames, not my wiliness), a low temp hot glue gun is sometimes my best friend.  Note that it’s the low temp one that I like, because I am far too clumsy to use the higher temp glue guns that really hurt when you burn yourself…which I do…all the time.  Anyway, I was using a glue gun the other day to piece together children’s costumes and I marveled at the glue gun’s amazingness.  I love it so much that if I was a superhero, my tool of choice would totally be a glue gun.  Listen, you could fix anything with it, and destroy villains with it too- it's a good choice.  Anyway, here’s my ode to the hot glue gun (as you will see, it is titled appropriately).

An Ode to the (Low Temp) Hot Glue Gun

O Glue Gun of a medium hot heat,

Thanks ever so much

For making crafts so easy,

And so fun.

Within seconds-

Something that seemed impossible

Is now a reality.

Because of you.

The Almighty (low temp) Glue Gun.

Although you burn my fingers,

I forgive you.

Because you were only doing your job

And I got in the way.

You can do anything.

Felt, fabric, feathers-

You make it work.

You’re there whenever I need you,

(As long as I can wait a minute for you to warm up),

And you’re always willing to help.

You have the power of a god,

And the qualities of a best friend.

O Glue Gun of a medium hot heat,

Thanks ever so much.
