'If it don't plug in, it don't get done!' - Mr Gadget Man

'if it don't plug in, it don't get done!'

The mantra of my gadget man,

For every job he believes there's a gadget -

Electric plane to smooth the frame,

Cordless screwdriver, drills - wood and hammer

To create and cure those DIY jobs.

The stuck door, the new kitchen, always something to do-

And a gadget to do it!

Room to decorate, wood to be sawn,

Jigsaw, circular saw, band saw

Take your pick, there's an example of every one

In the shed or garage, box after box- the man in his cave,

The man from Mars - Mr Gadget Man-

Gathered like toys, jewels in his crown-

'if it don't plug in, it don't get done!'

His mantra as he counts his stash.

Then why oh why don't the jobs get moving?

'Not charged', 'Won't reach!', 'Wrong tool!' - always an excuse

What I need, as the Woman from Venus,

Is a gadget man I can plug in!
