Handy Randy

It’s nice to know a handyman 
To help when things go wrong,
Who fixes things around the house
And you don’t wait too long.

A pipe that drips, a door that sticks,
A light to be replaced
And any of a hundred other
Problems you have faced.

When someone with both time and tools
Can luckily be found,
Be grateful for his expertise
And hope he sticks around.

Hello Ilene, I could sure do with someone like that to fix a squeaky door. A good one is a rare gem. A Beautifully written piece, my friend.
