I needed a stair lift for mum
But couldn’t afford very much
So I looked on e-Bay for some
And found this one stating thus:
“You can’t go much wrong with this
Turbo charged and ready to go
A second hand perfect stair lift
One careful owner, or so”
I paid ’Fred’ two hundred bucks
And the stair lift was duly installed
But as soon as we it started up
It blew a big fuse and then stalled
We fixed those problems we found
And then mum sat down in the chair
It gave a large rev ving sound
Then suddenly zoomed up the stairs!
What could be wrong with that chair?
Maybe came from some faulty batch?
But it threw mum up in the air
And she landed inside the loft hatch!
We could have sued that guy Fred
For a million quid and a half
But we decided to thank him instead
For giving us both such a laugh!
