Plumbers Monologue

I am a plumber,
CDM is my companies name,
The initials belong to my sons,
They may work with me one day.

I had a LARGE WHITE van,
Before Covid made all of the 
Prices lower.

Later I tried to get different work, a variety,
But I partnered with a no- good man,
And I lost it all again.

I had insurance so I kept the house, the family home,
I said to the no-good man-
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT ME!
Like the words in a song,
You just carry on and I’ll get along.

So here I am now,
I’m working again,
I managed to keep my head up,
And to work through the pain!
