Poem
A day in my life I thought to help the wife I got the vacuum out A little run about I plugged it in the wall Odd, no sound at all It must have blown a fuse So I undid all the screws I changed the fuse with new When they blow that's what you do Then I plugged the thing back in Odd, still nothing, no din I made a cup of tea The thought occurred to me Was the fuse that I thought new A useless dead fuse too I scratched my head and thought Has some fluff and stuff got caught And blocked up all the tube Which may have blown the fuse I was in a flux So I got my toolbox First I undid this Then I undid that And by the time I undid more I had a pile of scrap Now I was in a flap As I tried to build it back But I knew I lost the plot Cos the pile was such a lot When I knew I could not win I launched it in the bin So I went round to the store Cos my vacuum was no more And invested in one new Took it home just like you do But by the time I did unpack I had another heap of crap Cardboard and all that So I burned it round the back I plugged my new vacuum in Odd, still no distinctive din I was most bemused I thought a new one can't be fused So I changed the fuse in new Then thought I will vacuum , like you do Odd, not a peep From my new electric sweep I thought there's something funny here Something strange and queer The room was not its norm It had no bubbly warm Then I looked at my aquarium The fish they did not swim No lights or bubbling glow That keep them on the go I switched the light shade on No light there just was none Then I tried the chandelier No lights from that either I sat down with a grin It was hard to take it in I reflected on the day The one that cost me pay I had dismantled something good For no reason that I should Then threw it in the bin And then invested in another When the first one had no bother I felt so ashamed but I had myself to blame I thought, Scott you are a nut Scott you are a smut Did you not realise There has been a power cut Outside
