A home owners work is never quite done,
Pulling the weeds in the hot summer sun.
Pushing the lawn mower up and then back,
Stuffing the clippings into a sack.
Installing sprinklers was such a great plan,
Each are on timers, no watering by hand.
Then one is run over or hit with the trimmer,
Replacing a sprinkler can sure make me simmer.
We have no hot water I hear in a scream,
From my son in the shower jumping from the stream.
The plumber comes out and replaces one wire,
The $400 dollar charge will make me perspire.
So when I retire I'm selling this place,
And renting a condo and leaving in haste.
No more home fixin' or patching to do,
I'm calling the manager, "send out your crew!"
