DIY bathroom
Born 1959, M, from Stoke, United KingdomThe bathroom needs an upgrade
I’m sure it won’t take long
Just reline the walls she said
What can possibly go wrong
Well the sinks in the backyard
The waters everywhere
Flowing from a broken pipe
And running down the stair
The old toilets leaking
And the smell is rather rank
This very simple upgrade
Is about to break the bank
The plumber man is laughing
He thinks I’m a fool
There’s nothing to have a bath in
I forgot the cardinal rule
When someone says diy
It’s the “y” that really counts
As in “why should I”
The costs really mount
So when this job is finished
And all is well and done
My DIY skills diminished
And the plumbers had his fun
I’m hanging up my hacksaw
My hammers in the bin
I’m running out the back door
Before my wife gets in

02/28/2023That was really comical. Many DIY projects end in crying and lots of cash! That was a great poem!
