Imperfect

Like a recipe with too much salt,
Or a toy with lead paint.
I am imperfect,
And not exactly what you'd call good.

Like a scratched compact disc,
That just keeps skipping the important information.
Or a broken record,
That repeats the negative information over and over again.

Like a goldfish bowl with a leak,
Or a computer with a virus.
I am imperfect,
And Unusable.

Like a faulty fire alarm
That goes off when there's no fire.
Or a watch that's not displaying the correct time,
Always three minutes late.
