Puncture Repair

by Michael Bell

Spoon inner out.
Append pump.
Blast air past nozzle
Enlarging limp tube.
Watch wheel wither in water,
Wound bubbles.
Finger slice and
Linger on location.
Dry droopy hoop resolutely.
Press on plane terrain.
Rough rubber with coarse
Paper providing adhesive friction.
Generously gloop glue
Over affliction.
Affix patch to slash.
Wait.
Once dry, again inflate
And place in water.
Stare as air escapes.
Swear.
Repeat procedure.
