CAN HE FIX IT ?
I got on the Phone to my friend called Rob,
Who for a local Handyman is a real lazy Slob.
And I gave him a list of some repairs to be done,
But Work 1, 3, and 5, were the only ones begun.
He said it himself: 'I only do Odd-jobs'.
HAVING YOUR CAKE AND KNITTING IT
Some recent break-ins from the Criminal trade,
And a curious thing therein displayed.
For into some Homes a Thief did break,
And Knitting Needles are the things he takes:
Now the Police can see there's a Pattern being made.

I love word play and both of these did this in a humorous way. A fun read and a fave
As always: Thank you for Reading and the fave.
Most welcome Kevin
‘Odd’ is definitely a label I could pin on that gentleman. Back to the yellow pages. Nah that was years ago. Wot about those little plastic cards which clog up your letterbox?
The answer to your case no. 2 is dead simple: he was madly knitting balaclavas. Why didn’t they put me on the case? I’d be up for promotion by now.
Entertainment plus, Kevin.

Thank you for Reading 👍
Hello, Kevin,
Odd jobs and knitting needles. There's a pattern to your humour and you're still cheering me up. Well done, Kevin. It's a joy to read the lighter side of life for a change.
Kind regards,
Tony.
My Pleasure. Thank you for Reading.
Kevin, two groaners for the price of one…and yes, I laughed at both. I’m blaming you entirely. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Yes. Thank you for Reading and for the fave.
Haven't had a fine laugh in a long, long time. Keep 'em coming, mate!
I try. I try. Thank you for Reading. Appreciate it.
