 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Can You Just Do…?  /  Can I Just...!


Hey, landlord, are you busy?
Can you just do a job for me?
I need my living room decorated,
But I'm not paying anyone you see!
What do you mean you won't!
It's your job, that's what you do,
I'm not paying out for it,
Get it done, I'm telling you!

I also want a new fire,
To go with me furniture and mat,
And while you're at it, get me a new loo!
Cos I'm certainly not having that!
Can you just do an extension?
And give me a wooden floor,
And while you're doing that,
You might as well match me door!

There's a hole in the living room door,
I fell when I punched the wall,
Slipped and hit the floor,
But it wasn't my fault at all.
Can you just do me a favour?
And get me a new kitchen too…
I don't like the one you've just put in,
Cos am afraid it just wont do!

Can I just…

Can I just do this, can I just do that?
I'm questioned every day…
And what do I get in return for this?
Because the rent, you won't even pay!
You want me running here and there,
And fixing this and that too,
Just what do you think I am pal!
I've got better things to do!

This is broke that won't work,
You don't like the colour of the mat!
Well let me tell you now kid,
I'm certainly not having that!
You broke that, I fixed it last week,
And now it's broken again,
Well all I've got to say to that is…
You're just another pain!

So no, I certainly can't just…
Run you here and there,
Fox up this, alter that…
Cos you're not being fair!
So you do your own repairs,
And clean up the dirty mat,
And get the windows washed too…
Cos I'm not putting up with that!
