Sonnet 76


Are you made of stainless steel,

Imported from Taiwan?

Were you made in Pittsburgh

By my second cousin John?

Are you a handcrafted lever

That exists to detap?

Or just another machined tool

To fall into the consumers lap?

Please tell me your secrets,

I am sick of all the lies.

You see I love you bottle opener

Regardless of your compact size.

Yes, I adore you bottle opener

Regardless of your compact size.
