DIY
So, you think you are a master
Of do it all yourself
The missus asked you last year
To fix that flat pack shelf
Now..tooled up, at the ready
You start to drill the plaster
But you hit the water pipe
My word...what a disaster!
And now you have that wall
To fix and then to skim
The room is like a lido
And the cat has learnt to swim
Telephone the pro's mate
Next time there is a job
Leave the gadgets in the toolshed
And you go down the pub!

Gardener
Gardening is your hobby
It has often been said
With plants and pretty flowers
Being crossed and hi-bred
Trouble is, it's not done
By grafting or with seeds
It's more a fluke of nature
Cos' most are crossed with weeds!
Oh.. you know how to compost
To cultivate and sow
To propagate and layer
And make your garden grow
But another Percy Thrower
Is something you are not
So just languish in that deckchair
And sod the bloomin' lot!

Thanks for the flippin' verses - from someone who couldn't make words rhyme if her life depended on it!
