Rent-A-X

There is a Mr. Fix It 
That lives on my street
If you want to call him
You should have done so last week

Because he is always busy;
But you can call him on the phone
His X will answer for him
This is Rent-A-X but he's gone

How may my X help you
You know I was married to a squire
He can repair anything
With duct tape for he aspires

To run a super business
Where the calls come pouring in
Then he can hire many people
And he will just sleep till ten

Just last week a new pool
He did put in his front yard
Placed a table in it, ladened
With grand buffet of food

With an extension cord on float
To a tv in a sinking boat
He and all his buddies
Could watch tv and tell jokes

When the extension was inserted
In the plug-in in the house
It tripped the power breakers
Now everything is quiet as a mouse

Hello Sara, When it is played played back will it be too late , I will always regret never having said what i know now to my Father because i was always distracted and seems to have passed e by in the blik of an eye and i will never ever get to say my goodbye. It kills me my biggest regret

Secnd though, Have you ever questioned what life would be like without interference , It would leave us to ponder opiinion without being told what to think ?

Hello Sara, I have little faith in people and even the wealthy seem to sponsor only to massage there ego , I may be wrong its only an opinion , But God lived on earth devoid of wealth , Free to dispurce Love without reproach neutral

This reminds me so much of my Dad, he would do wierd things with extension cords, like the time he wanted to watch the baseball game but also be outside.. just follow the extension cords and Dad was at the end.. this was a fun poem to read
