LOOK, NO HANDY!
By Richard Armour


A handyman is one who’s good
At pounding nails and sawing wood
And stopping leaks or starting flows,
Short-circuit fixing, too, he knows.

A handyman I’d like to be
And save a plumber’s fancy fee,
While carpenter and electrician
I’d also spare a costly mission.

But though I’ve hands, I am not handy,
And yet my wife is quite demandy.
"Fix this," she says. I’m all chagrin.
"Fix that." You see the fix I’m in.
