He ‘s a shot from a cannon;
A bolt from the blue;
He even moves quickly
When there’s work to do.
At fixing a faucet
Or building a shelf
He’s a thirty-day wonder;
He’s lightning itself.
Who is always on time
To board busses with ease?
If he’s catching a plane,
Who is on schedule? He’s.
And he is consistent
With his speed and punch:
He slows down so swiftly
When I announce lunch.
