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!

lol...good luck with that Jan. Don't you love it when people do what they say? I am thinking of charging doctors for appointments at two and I don't get seen until three thirty. Thanks for the smile. Jim
