The Poetry of Brian Langley

 

 

The D.I.Yer

 


The DIYer
 

The Wife's Response
 


I'm a D.I.Yer,

there’s nothing I can’t fix.

I’ve got tools for every job,

I know the expert’s tricks;

 

Brick laying, painting, plumbing;

Each one of them’s a breeze.

Panel beating, plastering,

I do them all with ease.

 

I fix up my computers,

I’ve even dug a bore.

I put new glass in windows

and hinges on a door.

 

I’ve stopped the taps from dripping,

I’ve pruned the apple tree.

Replaced a differential,

whatever that might be.

 

ooooooo

“You say you’re great at DIY,

Of that I’m not too sure.

Since you installed new hinges

I can’t unlock the door.

 

You stopped the taps from dripping,

Since then they all go thump.

You pruned the apple tree for sure

And now it’s just a stump.

 

Since you fixed my computer,

My sewing software’s dead,

Now when I click my icons

I get porno sites instead.

 

 ooooooo
