We all know " snap, crackle and pop",
but we received creak, groan and flop,
from dining chairs in a really bad way,
that came in for repair, today!

An Iceman that reduces pain,
wasn't - till we got it going again !
We'll take small welding jobs that are easy to do,
not industrial stuff, thank you.

We never know what's coming in.
and we get excited when we begin.
We love to see you pleased and happy
when we get something working and it's no longer crappy,

Come visit us 9.30 - 12.30 /1 every Friday and Wed.
If not, leave items at TMCCA reception instead

Dining chairs that wobble and creak.
A talking doll that doesn't speak !
A water hose with a leak
and a chima bird with a broken beak .

A lawn mower refusing to mow.
A line trimmer that will not go.
A distorted blade on a hoe
and a vacuum on definite go slow,

These are some of the items we fix.
We sharpen everything from knives to picks.
So if you have something that is sick
don't let it get on your wicks.

The rolling bag handle came adrift.
The contents all went sprawling.
The owner yelled out in frustration -
and the frightened toddler started bawling !

We put it back together.
The child became all smiles.
We turned our attention to the furniture,
now stacked up in piles!

Snapped arms and legs, chewed table tops,
separated backs, and sagging drawers ,
wheels off chairs and trolleys,
even beading off front doors.

There is no end to or skils
So please bring in your items affectrd by ills.
We're here 9.30 - 12.30 / 1 every Friday and Wed
or leave at TMCCA reception instead .

A line trimmer blowin g clouds of smoke
which, you must admit, is definitely not oke.
A walking stick without a tip,
so won't stop the owner from a nasty slip.
A drawer that need a new inside,
a gap between chair supports that's far too wide,
A table with an obvious sag.
a handle off a leather bag,
All and everything, all types and sports
motors with simple faults.
Bring them in. We'll do our best
Challenge us and put us to the test

A hedge trimmer, with a leak,
a vacuum, whose battery's weak,
a broken table made from teak
and a birdbath that's an absolute freak !

We're happy to help with them all,
jobs that are large, medium , or small,
Some fix easily, so it's a ball -
and others drive us up the wall !

When something that's fast is going slow.
When a display item can't be on show,
bring them in to us ; we'll have a go.
If they're too dead, we'll let you know.

We removed handles from drawers,
so the owner could paint.
We restored inscriptions
which had gone very faint.
We affixed a strap to a rollon case
and replaced hands on a wall clock face .
we put a leg back on a table
so now it's steady and stable.

If you have anything for us to repair,
bring it to the people who care.
who want to save it from the tip,
'cos the throw away society give us the pip !

Don't forget to read my novel.
Reviews are good,
but i'm prepared to grovel.

Hi, people, thank you for listening
and bringing in your tools.
We sharpened shears and pruners
and edgers for swimming pools.

A hedge trimmer was leaking petrol.
We think we've found the fault.
A food processor was iffy
and a vacuum coming up short.

Whatever it is at your place,
that doesn't work or go,
bring it to THE REPAIR CAFE
and we'll fix the crack, cut and flow.

Still waiting!
Are you guys all out dating?
We need work!
Getting your jobs will give us a perk.
Running short!
Almost finished the things you HAVE brought.
Test your mowers.
Some of them will not be goers!
Look at your shears.
Are they as blunt as you feared?
Do your knives still slice?
Or do you have to redo it twice?
Vacuums pick up?
Or do they roll over the muck?
Chair has a creak?
Then it's our help you seek.
If any of these resonate,
let us fix them before it's too late,
9.30 - 12.30 /1 every Friday and Wed
or leave mat TMCCA reception, instead

Hope to see you, soon
Hope my book, JOSIE BURLO takes you over the moon

A stick vacuum stuck on one speed,
a necklace needing restrung beads,
an occasional table that lost a leg,
an ornament needing a tiny peg.
more chairs that have fallen apart
and the usual plethora of "it won't start !"

"Come on down, " bring them in.
We'll try to stop them going into the bin.
Your donation helps the community.
Good on both sides , into perpetuity.
