Oh Christine, your husband's workshop looks a lot like my husband's as well. LOL
Handy, yes, OCD? Definitely LOL
A place for everything and everything in its place!
Well done, and i smiled all the way through this!
Loved it.

one question:

In draws? or drawers?
(Is this a cultural divide thing? ;)

Love it
Cat

Hi Cat, so glad I have you on this site and thanks for highlighting my draws and yes it should be drawers, but it is probably my accent we say draws but mean drawers. I have corrected this so thanks heaps, yes a place for everything, weeeellllll most of the time.it can look like a dogs breakfast sometimes, but eventually sorts it out. Glad you had a smile. I am a bit behind so will catch up soon. Cheers again Christine

Oooo, that's a lot of tools - I'd have difficulty trying to remember where everything is and my wife hates waiting on me handing her the right tool :)
Every home should have a handy man, me? I live in the same house, that is as handy as I get. Wonderful poem to read, good fun and thank you for sharing.
Bless you
John

A great poem that hits close to home. I too love my tools - though my wife will tell you that my do-it-yourself projects rarely come in under budget. You capture the spirit of the do-it-yourselfer very well here - I especially like the lines "and if he thinks he needs some more, he'll go down to his favorite store" - how true!

A great poem - I'll have to go back and find RObyn's poem that inspired this.

Hi Christine - this is a great poem. I have one of those - I could not bear to have any other. LOL A handy man is essential as something is always going wrong in my house. The picture - my handyman (hubby) would be envious of that workshop. Your poem tells the story with an easy flow and the rhyme is perfect. An enjoyable read. Warm regards Dorothy

A fun poem about your husband workshop and all his tools. You also get a feel of the language when he is frustrated. This is well crafted and enjoyable to read.

Hi Christine,

This is a really nice and cute poem; a most enjoyable and fun read. As I was reading it reminded me of my husband the handyman. He is always fixing something, loosing screw and swearing.

Excellent rhyming and meter, very smooth flow and a fun read. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.........................Portia

thanks for this fun piece and the ODE to the handy man. I really enjoyed the way you have described his love for his shed. I get a sense that you may be Aussie? but sorry if I am wrong. I really enjoyed reading this poem.

Hi Jerffers63. Yes an Aussie I am with an Aussie bloke who is quite a good handy man, and I often have a 'project for him' LOL, With all the money spent on the tools he may as well use them efficiently. Thanks for reading and reviewing my post Cheers Christine😃

Comment from Marykelly

This is a fun poem about a wife singing the praises of her husband, handyman, who has plenty of tools, gadgets, and stuff but may not be that handy after all. The Form is quatrains and the metric movement makes the words flow. The rhyme also moves the pace along in a conversational way. well done
