A crack in the wall, breaking apart
Cover with tape, I thought this was smart
But edges start to curl, the middle is next
It lands on the floor, I am perplexed
A crack in the wall, breaking apart
I hope some glue will give me a fresh start
Once dried, the problem can be seen
Nothing was covered, the floor is unclean
A crack in the wall, breaking apart
A bit of mud from the garden cart
Minutes later it crumbles to the ground
Back to the start, new planning to be found
A crack in the wall, breaking apart
Finely chosen paint from the colour chart,
Here's to hoping for a fine piece of art
Instead it looks like a bleeding heart
A crack in the wall, breaking apart
There is only one way to fix it all
A picture is nailed right over the flaw
Nothing can fix that crack in the wall
