Matilda the Builder

\nMatilda the builder builds houses and sheds,
\nFor Mabels and Willies and Fannies and Freds.
\nHer jobs are renowned through the town where she lives
\nFor all of the hard work and service she gives.
\nShe’s rebuilt the baker’s and patched up the school,
\nLaid soft rubber mats where the kids play the fool,
\nShe tarmaced a car park, repointed a sty,
\nAnd put up a flagpole where flags like to fly.<\/p>\n
Matilda the builder works six days each week,
\nShe won’t work on Sundays, goes walking the peke,
\nBut Monday to Friday, and Saturdays too,
\nShe’s out doing jobs for some people like you;
\nReplastering cowsheds, reroofing a hall,
\nOr putting up nets where the children play ball.
\nThe last time I saw her was deep in a ditch,
\nImproving the drains for the town’s cricket pitch.<\/p>\n
Matilda the builder helps everyone out,
\nFrom building a bridge to degunging the grout.
\nNo project’s too big, very few are too small,
\nShe built_Holly’s_folly and Hadrian’s_wall.
\nShe isn’t the cheapest, the best never is,
\nShe’s diligent, honest and works like a whizz.
\nIf you’ve some construction you need to get done,
\nDial M for Matilda, she’s bettered by none!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
