Oh noble skip hire people
Oh noble skip, why dost thou stay,
Six days have slowly slipped away!
Six phone calls made, six promises too,
Yet still thou linger’st in the view.
Each morn they say, “Today’s the day!”
Yet come the dusk, thou still dost stay.
A driveway guest who won’t depart,
A skip-shaped thorn within my heart.
Thy customer service ladies sit in splendour, tea cup in hand,
Pretending to summon chariots across the land.
With every click and every courteous sigh,
They craft grand tales that prove to be a lie.
“Tomorrow,” they proclaim, with confidence and cheer,
Yet tomorrow comes and the skip remains right here.
At this rate, dear skip, thou art family now to me—
More reliable than the updates given over the phone, you see!
So hear my plea, both kind and quick,
Come fetch this most reluctant skip!
For if thou tarriest much longer still,
I’ll start charging thee rent and utilities bill! 🤣
Thy skip was delivered on 4th June and due for pick on 18th June 2026!!!
