If At First, You Don't Succeed!

Friend, if at first you don't succeed, I'm not at all surprised, If user guides you seldom heed, Or did what folks advised. Or never learned what Google shared From websites far and wide, As if you chanced things unprepared, Or winged it due to pride. Friend, if at first you don't succeed, Without the proper tools, Or bodged things when you disagreed Or thought some teachers fools. No wonder problems hang about If you won't spend bank notes, Or wouldn't pay a penny out When tradesmen gave you quotes. Friend, if at first you don't succeed, The plumbling faults remain, So wise-up now and face that need Or things will stay the same. Each specialist can still be called And prices can be checked. If vital parts don't get installed, Your house will end up wrecked! Denis Martindale. The 9th of February 2026.
