Thingummybob

Who’s that fellow that came, you know, what’s his name? The one who was quite underweight He came round last week, with a zit on his cheek And he mended and painted our gate Come on, you should know it was you had to show Him the things that were needing repair He was ever so lean and not very clean And was toothless with bright ginger hair He had no teeth at all he was ever so tall And was scrawny and lanky and long He’d no meat on his frame but was awfully game And for someone so skinny, quite strong His mum had dementia he’d mislaid his denture He came and he did a good job He was gummy and thin with an odd kind of grin Oh yes! It was thin gummy Bob
