My bathroom tap was leaking
So I set about to seeking some advice
From the good old internet
Which caused me some frustration
With conflicting information
So I had to have a sit-down
And pour myself a drink instead
The picture rail was falling
So to avoid the need for calling someone out
Whom I'd charge a screw the teeth
I acquired a Black and Decker
And though did not set out to wreck a
Perfectly good bit of plastering
That once sat just beneath
The job conspired against me
Ill preparation came to bite
The end result could hardly have been worse
I had simply failed to do
The job I'd been entrusted to
So I folded in and did
What I really should have done at first
I called someone to fix it
I called somebody over
I've no desire to do this
With or without a hangover
My partner has been asking me
To do this for a while
And so I turn and say to her
With a sad and weary smile
It would require some basic skill
And some modicum of will
Or reliance on assistance from a friend
And that's why I never try
Even simple DIY
I'd have to call someone to fix it in the end
We want to put up shelves
So we can satisfy ourselves with all the things
That we've acquired throughout the years
So I set about to drilling
And then very nearly killing myself
Or causing lasting damage
Through the long frustrated tears
The bathroom tiles want grouting
But I know I'll end up shouting at myself
As I somehow cause a wreck
Without sufficient tools
Or any knowledge of the rules
That others seem to know instinctively
Without any need to check
This lack of expertise
Always brings me to my knees
And midway through, I'll likely have a change of heart
As I cry out for a foul
Expeed and then throw in the towel
And resign myself to doing
What I should have from the start
I'll call someone to fix it
I'll call somebody over
I've no desire to do this
With or without a hangover
My partner has been asking me
To do this for a while
And so I turn and say to her
With a sad and knowing smile
It would require some basic skill
And some modicum of will
Or reliance on assistance from a friend
And that's why I never try
Even simple DIY
I'll have to call someone to fix it in the end
I called someone to fix it
I called somebody over
I've no desire to do this
With or without a hangover
My partner has been asking me
To do this for a while
And so I turn and say to her
With a sad and knowing smile
It would require some basic skill
And some modicum of will
Or reliance on assistance from a friend
And that's why I never try
Even simple DIY
I'd have to call someone to fix it in the end
