If I

If I ran a hairdresser’s I’d call it ‘curl up and dye’
I think it’s a very clever name, you can see the reason why

If I was a carpenter I’d be called Mr Wood
My sign would read ‘Mr Wood would fix it if he could’ 

If I was a glazier I’d be called ‘ I know your pane’
So if you broke a window, you’d soon shout out my name

If I was a DIY man I’d call myself ‘Bodge it and Scarper’
I guess that’s not such a good idea!
