It's broken again.
Can you fix it?
Not this time.
Use the prompt anyway you want. It can be the theme of the poem or in the poem. I don't care. I just need to be able to tell. Make the poem short, but if it's long, it's okay, I'm not going to acually count how many words there are. And also tag me.

My Oak Gent
It’s broken again.
Oh no! Not again!?
What’s different?
Not much; I used to cry; now I grin.
Grin!? WHY grin!? He DID IT, AGAIN!
But THIS time I saw it coming and readied the ships.
Took ahold my resolve.
Doubled-up on defense.
Sipped a cup warm tea, and watched for the slip.
And slipped up he did! Oh, my it was glib!
It was all I could do not to laugh myself sick!
The fumble felt ageless, but the respite was quick.
And when I returned, saw nothing but sticks.
Tiny, weak branches I could break with a pinch.
Was all that remained of my sturdy oak gent.
Denying his darkness, thought light of his crimes.
It’s broken again. Can you fix it?
Not this time.
