We're going to get a mirror Twenty-two by sixty-eight It will be hung upon the wall Where we get our old plates Not because we want to do this No_another reason We need to cover a mistake Made in a past season When we did some remodeling Years, years, and years ago My handy man just taped some wires On others hard job bestow He said, someday that will need to Be redone and I hope I will no longer reside here Death didn't claim us-nope We are lucky to be alive Thank God that He protects The wire burned into while the man Was doing the projects Each time we get our plates and forks In the mirror we'll see Errors in judgement then Now__ fat around that be

Enjoyed this write about a hazard that did not have a tragic ending! A7 and thank God you guys are ok. Tis why its always smart to know the record and abilities of any handyman employed to do house repair work.
