After weeks of grief and hours of pain The situation had sent me insane So sitting down i taxed my brain I had nothing to lose but all to gain.
The leaping up i let out a shout This problems solved, i had no doubt So with head held high i did set out No hesitation,no hanging about.
With bolts and plastic and lumps of tin, With hammer and glue i did leap inm no thought of saftey for my skin I,d not give up i had to win.
I hit my tumb , i hit my shoe, The air around turned blue, The bolts and plastic round me flew, So did the hammer so did the glue.
Then it was done it was complete, I looked down at my marvellous feat, With a brand new shining coal black seat, A LOO repaird a LOO elite

About this poem:
It was written by myself many years ago in the UK where i was working on building sites.. It is my tribute to Spike MIlligan whose books and poems i have always loved.
My friend used to always tell me about the dangers of construction, he has broken his leg three times, one on a balcony, one on a roof, and one on a porch with a married woman, the last one was not the fault of construction!
