All afternoon I waited in at my house for you
But you didn’t show up and the air turned blue!

Called the servicing and maintenance department  …
‘Didn’t turn up’ today was my loud lament!

Eric the engineer will be here, but it wont’ be until tomorrow
Four on the dot I’ve been promised or I’ll give him sorrow!

Getting agitated, as I’ve had to take more time off work
He better arrive today … I’m ready to strangle the jerk!

I waited and waited and he still didn’t show
Just phoned again they said sorry Eric’s very slow!

Keeping my temper was a VERY hard thing for me
Let’s make a firm appointment for tomorrow at three

My nerves were frayed I was getting annoyed
Now the doorbell rings, I am really overjoyed!

Opening the door and I see Eric is standing there
Pecs like a bodybuilder… all I could do was stare!

Quickly I invite him inside to try and fix my cooker
Really glad he’s arrived, as Eric’s a real good looker 

‘Sorry’ Eric says but I must call back later with a spare part
Then you can cook me dinner - I think I’ve captured Eric’s heart!
