I hate soldering oh so much. I hate the thick grey smoke from solder and flux. I hate the sticky goop on all I touch. I hate the VOCs and particulates. With lead that spreads, I'm fed up.

But man is oh so great and wise. Why should he ever compromise In his humble, mighty strides?

Advancement towards what I wonder. Where will we be, when it all goes under?

Of course, melt the metals to serve our needs Stop this progress? Gosh, oh please!

I hate soldering, oh so much. I hate the thick grey smoke and yellow muck.

Please go away. Please cease to be. I say goodbye. I will flee.
