Mr Fix-it – ‘Exit Lines’ by Norm Murray

Hands covered in grime, lost all track of time
Tools in a heap on the floor
And for sure we knew as he loosened each screw
That this bloke was enjoying the chore.
 
He would be in no doubt when the insides were out
What was needed to make the thing work.
In his own quiet way he would soon save the day
And he’d finish it off with a smirk.
 
For repairs you require some No. 8 wire –
And maybe some tricks of the trade,
Or a new one of these, or a good bit of that,
And with luck you will soon have it made.
 
But, alas for our mate, more repairs are too late
For his mending has come to a halt.
Here’s the end of the tale of this good Kiwi Male
‘cos he’s tightened his last nut and bolt.
