Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

It's Hard To Get Help These Days

My lawyer's a liar
  my doctor's a quack
As for my dentist
  I'll never go back

My accountant's a fop
  my maid is a crook
I'll never replace the
  jewelry she took

My lawn guy is lame
  and the mailman's a dame
My favorite restaurant just closed
  no more fries with tree toads

It's hard to get help these days
  You just can't trust folks
with rings in their nose
  when they're not snortin' coke

I guess I've no choice
  I'll do things all by myself
'Cos when my wife heard my plan
  she eloped with our elf

Bill Baker December 28, 2021 at 3:02 PM I feel you brother. It was some kind of heavy for a light verse. lol But it still brought a smile to my face. My problem is I got old and I can't do it all anymore. lol Just spent $800 to get a disposal put in the kitchen sink. ouch! Oh well! I'm still happy as soon as I let it go and move on.
