Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

And I'M Still Waiting

It was on a Monday morning that the gasman said he’d call
I waited in all day – he didn’t come at all

Irate I phoned the company and they said they’d guarantee
He would arrive on Wednesday he’d be there by half past three

But Wednesday came and went and still he didn’t come
I phone up again – oh he has an abscess on his bum

Could I be at home on Friday – this time he won't be late
I guarantee he’ll be at your door prompt at half past eight

On Friday I sat and waited and the blighter didn’t arrive
I’ve sent them a bill for my time – I want it paid by half past five!
