My Father gave me a clue .

Of know how

and how to do ,

The things that needing fixing .

He helped me get a look in .

Mending a fuse in the box .

Installing latches and locks .

Mixing up bags of concrete ,

for laying under the feet .

Tiling and paving the yard .

Digging where the ground was hard .

Knocking a hole here and there .

Making sure the job was square .

Sawing and hammering nails .

Assembling posts and rails .

Using tools that screwed and gripped.

Finding what it was that dripped ,

under the house we would crawl, 

along the side of the wall ,

where the leaking pipe was found ,

hidden well under the ground .

We got lots of projects done .

Working with my Dad was fun .
