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

This would have made me snort Coke out of my nose "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" if I still drank soda pop, which I do not. Loved it!

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. Happy Trails Gershon, Bill
