Oh Roy, Oh Boy!!


He wants me to shorten his trousers he said,
And of course I agreed I would,
But after the episode and my error…!
I think he was no longer sure if he should!

We had a laugh, I have to admit,
Such fun and oh dear me!
Things happened that really shouldn't have,
I made a big mistake you see!

So Roy was feeling a little nervous,
And as he left to go on home,
He laughingly said to me…
Leave my length of leg alone!

He told me that he doesn't hip-hop!
For his legs are equal in length you see!
I laughed my head off, I really did…
And replied to him; ‘Just you leave it to me!'

But I think he has his doubts right now,
After all, he sat and watched in glee…
As I chopped the wrong flippin' leg off!
Then he decided to put me straight you see!

‘That's the wrong leg you've cut,' he said!
And blimey, did I go sick!
So I got the scissors out once again,
And cut them again, real quick!!!

I altered this, altered that…
But I really have to say!
I'm good at what I do you know!
And I made them finally okay!

So there I was, a-pondering…
Wondering about my plight!
With a raging head, I went to bed…
And slumbered all through the night!

But now I have to be honest here!
Roy is really a little gem!
For he trusts me to alter his trousers, and said!
‘As long as you don't make a mistake again!'

So I sat and thought about it, I did…
And decided to do them right!
Cos after all, when said and done,
I'm not messing about fixing them all night!

One mistake is enough for a life-time,
Of that there is no doubt…
And as he walked towards his car…!
I shouted, ‘Roy, I'll sort them out!'

He laughed as he sauntered away to the car,
'Oh Roy, oh boy!' I said with glee…
'You know as well as I do…!'
'Your trousers are safe in the hands of me!'

Will he bring them to me to alter?
Well, that's anyone's guess I think…
But if he doesn't, I'll know for sure…
He thinks my sewing skills just stink!

Keep smiling Roy...
Things will get better...
Don't live in sadness for too long...
For you have strength and constitution,
And the love of many around you!
