T’was
the night before Christmas – the house wasn’t done
No
chance for the poor Robitailles to have fun
Four
months they had toiled by day and by night
Their
clothing in tatters, their hair looked a fright.
They’d
landscaped the garden with digger and truck
When
it bogged in the driveway poor Eddie said f*…!
They
built stronger muscles from shovelling dirt
Effective
for weight loss but hell how it hurt!
The
house was all painted in stylish BlackWhite
New
tiles, new carpets - it changed overnight.
New
showers, new toilets, a stone kitchen bench
Designed
to delight the most fussy young wench.
And
once the inside was all shiny and clean
They
started on fencing, in Karaka green.
Bev
painted for hours on trellis and tin
While
Ed measured timber and put the posts in.
They’re
on the last stages now – new steps and gates
Thankful
for all of the help from their mates.
In
the month after Christmas it goes on the market
(Assuming
they handle the pace and don’t cark it.)
When
the work is all done and they get a good price
They
can rest and relax then – won’t that be nice?
Wishing
all our blog readers a very Merry Christmas and a safe holiday season. See you
back here in the New Year when new adventures await!
