Sorry to my readers and followers for my lack of blogging this week … The old plumber/poet traded his quill in for his old rusty spanner and dirty hammer …

Back On The Tools. (adapted from “An Old-time Plumber”)
Could I actually do the task?
Am I physically strong enough?
Am I mentally sharp and able enough?
To endure four to fives days of hard work?
Surprise, surprise, I have survived the first three days
Job is nearing completion and the clients are suitably pleased
And I am home beside the heater and enjoying a red wine
Although when I finished it was already dark
And my back was stiff as red-gum bark
But a job stamped by my old-time quality trademark
