Gary Wayne Hill Poet Rhyme

I Would If I Could, But I Can'T

I would if I could, but I can’t
Put that shelf up for you dear
Someone has taken my tools
I thought I made that clear

I would if I could, but I can’t
Go shopping with you today
My feet are rather tired
No, home I will have to stay

I would if I could, but I can’t
Fix that leak under the bath
My back is very sore today
Are you having a laugh?

I would if I could, but I can’t
Go throw out all the trash
You know what I’m like with those germs
I’ll come out in rash

Now you better get yourself upstairs
In the bathroom there’s a bit of a flood
I’d really love to help you out
But I can’t, but if I could, then I would.
