YOU CAN'T GET QUICKER THAN A KITCHEN FITTER

"I had a kitchen had a new kitchen

had it fitted,     kitchen fitted by a kitchen fitter

could have been quicker frankly

frankly he could have been quicker

but being a kitchen fitter had other jobs going

at the same time fitting other kitchens all the time and

not enought hours in the day            he said

he said that fitting kitchens was a twenty four hour game

twenty four seven, sometimes finished at eleven.

started at eight with a mate fitting new kitchens.

Could have done it better frankly

frankly it could have been done better

but being a kitchen fitter he had other men working

at the same time fitting other kitchens all the time and

not enough men to complete them in time so he said

he said that

and I believed him.

I suppose that's how it is when you employ men

always men       men only.

They smoke roll - ups and show their bottoms. "

Glad you enjoyed this Colin. It was supposed to be neurotic houseowner but I'm sure we've all being there!
The last line is the bottom line obviously!

can I replace 'kitchen' with 'shower' Ray? It took several months for our shower fitter to fit the shower and fix the subsequent leaks - well actually, he didn't fix the leak in the end, I did!

great poem with cracking last line.
