Many years
ago when Tim was working for Carpet Care
He and his off-sider “Gopher” Grant drove around
the city
Cleaning
carpets, travelling everywhere in that Bongo Van
He always did
the best job that he could: the best any man can!
One day they
arrived for another job somewhere
Knocked on
the door and explained to the young man
“We’re here to clean the carpets, may
we come in?”
They moved
the furniture around ready to begin
Then, something
made them check the address: just in case!
That’s when
they realised they were in the wrong place!
So they left
in a hurry: headed out the door
Leaving that
furniture moved around: yes everywhere!
Imagine that
poor young lad explaining to his mum
How two guys
came to clean the carpets, chum!
The only thing
that reminded me of that scenario
Was that the
very same thing happened this year too!
We’d called a
company to come and clean the roof
Gave them our
address: thought it was foolproof!
But for some
crazy reason they ended up next door
Upset our
poor dear elderly neighbour: what uproar?
She called
the cops in a panic: screaming down the phone
“Someone’s climbing on my roof: trying
to break in!”
Three cop
cars later, uniformed and plain clothes cops everywhere!
Those guys
had to apologise profusely: had to say sorry to her!
Yes they were
clearly in the wrong: silly old men!
Maybe next
time they’ll check that written address
Then perhaps
they won’t end up in such a terrible mess!
I know this
is crazy: I know you’ll probably think I’m weird
But I knew it
would happen: knew it all beforehand!
I saw it all
happening: like in a daydream: yes it’s true
That they’d
end up at the wrong house: yes I already knew!
Then to see
it all happening right before my eyes
It was all
just as I had seen it: no big surprise!
