Mr Not-Fixit

There are people who fix things And those who won’t try But strangely, a third type exists – The ones who believe they Can fix things, though why Is unclear, yet their sureness persists. They’ll attempt, with their tool kit, All kinds of repairs Though they rarely will meet with success And when challenged, they’ll laugh Or confront you with glares And, of course, you’ll be left with a mess. If you happen to know someone Like I’ve described The frustration’s familiar to you, But there is no solution That can be prescribed – Every project becomes a snafu.

When people do renovations. It truly can cause reservations. They do it themselves, hanging fans and some shelves. Then flip the switch when it all goes to hell. :)

sure made me smile Ilene, my hubby as a small business helping silver surfers with their computer issues and more often than not he has to tidy up the mess a well meaning relative has done which results in the person unable to use their computer ... it is happening much too often these days :-( hugs jan xx
