The Handyman

[The Candyman] Who can take a hairball? Blame it on the cat Flush it down the tank And you laugh a lot for that It’s the handyman Yes, it's the handyman The handyman can ‘Cause you pay him for the laugh When the laugh is on you Yes, the laugh is on you ‘Cause he took you for a fool And he’s not done yet (No, he’s not done yet!) The handyman makes Everything he breaks Work again for just a minute It’s your money-did he win it Only when you hear him spin it Now you got a problem Who you gonna call? Your handyman is gone ‘Til the late, late fall But he’s your handyman Yes, he's your handyman And your handyman can If you bought the monthly plan And your boa gets loose When your boa gets loose Then your cat disappears And the hairballs stop (So the skids run dry) Now, you can laugh again Yes, you can laugh again Give the man a hug For a slime-free rug 'Cause he's your handyman.

Congrats on your win and thank you for entering the contest. Love connection to the musical, of Willy Wonka. This will be nostalgic for some. A humorous take on a so called handy man. Will he really fix it?? Who knows? Lol. A fun read. Well done!

Hi Natasha, Thank you for taking the time to read my poem and for the 3rd place finish. Thank you, also, for sponsoring the contest in the first place. I'm glad you enjoyed my silly poem. If there is anything 'Soup needs, it is more humor. Thank you once again. Sincerely, Bryan
