Well, I suppose it _could_...

It's actually a filk of Flanders and Swann 'The gas man cometh'. I am not
going to type out the original here (for all I have the songbook
alongside me...) but the original is something like

Monday : Gas man comes to call as I can't turn the gas tap. He pulls out
all the skirting boards

Tuesday : Carpenter comes to put skirting boards back, nails through a cable

Wednesday : Electrican comes, puts foot through window trying to reach
the fusebox

Thursday : Glazier comes to fix window, burns paint off wall with the
blowlamp

Friday : Painter comes to paint the wall, but also paints over the gas
tap, so I can't turn it on.

Repeat :-)...
