Graphic by Billie

I’ll Do It Myself!

Some things that you just have to do, you have to do yourself,
Like working on a ladder, or putting up a shelf.
Oh, you can try to find someone, but in the end you’ll see,
If someone’s gonna screw things up, it might as well be me!

‘Cause I can move a ladder, and I can climb on it,
And then I can go down again, for things that I forgit.
I used to do my painting, dipping brushes in a bucket,
After I tired of all the climbs, the next trip up I tuck it.

I took the paint can up with me, but then I couldn’t put it down,
That’s why that corner of the carpet is a matching shade of brown.
And after all my troubles using hammers and those nails,
I figured out that screws will give support that never fails.

That’s why when I needed something put up good and tight,
I bought a box of screws so I could do it all just right.
So last night I held up the thing and grabbed the screws I’d got....

Who is this guy Phillips? ...And what happened to the slot?

I'm in.
If I've been babbling about painting on a suitcase, I finished that project yesterday at 1:15 PM/1315 hours yesterday my time.
Snapped some pics of it, and now I have to find somewhere ot put them.
:(

Suitcase itself is on a plane heading to Florida at this moment.
