back in the 60’s
so excited to begin my modeling hobby
black fury arrived
took out all three of the pieces
two horse halves and a tail
laid them out
along with my airplane glue
after reading the directions
carefully matching the halves
adding the tail
it’s black plastic body
smeared all over with glue
but it was together
i had made it all by myself
gave it one last little squirt of glue
for good luck
which missed and went into my eye
my joy turned to dramatic squealing
zoomed off to the eye doctor
went home and looked at fury
with my one good eye
not sure what went wrong
learning not to add
one more little dab of something
when a project is finished
and began my foray into my new hobby
stamp collecting.
