SOLDERING ON

SOLDERING ON!

–

Great news from the home front.

A logjam’s opened wide…

‘Though duct tape won’t keep in place

Wires thus applied.

–

Surfaces were dirty

And oily from the dust…

His new iron was slow at first

But hot enough–just!

–

In saving money he scrimped

In quality again…

More power would’ve been easier

To a clear message send.

–

He cleaned the rail as best he could

Without  recommended stuff…

GOO GONE did as advertised,

‘Though used off the cuff.

–

Everything sticking,

He pulled one soldered joint free…

Remember to pre-strip your wires:

Satisfaction guaranteed!
