The carpet fitters broke my pot

they didn’t even care,

they tipped the pieces in the bin

like it’d never been there.

I must admit that I was wrong

to leave it on the shelf

but I just feel so sodding cross,

not going to blame myself!

They thought I’d never notice it,

that was the real insult.

If they’d just apologised

I would’ve excused their guilt.

I’ll never get another one

if they offered recompense

cos I made it in my pottery class

so it isn’t the expense.

But I was really pleased with it,

too beautiful for words.

The carpet fitters broke my pot

the rotten lousy turds!
