To be or not to be a Plumber

An apprenticeship for five long years

With sweat and effort and many tears

To not qualify would have been a bummer

Not being able to call myself a “Plumber”

But now the Government must intervene

And I must now be an Engineer of Energy Clean

And pass exams that cost me very dear.

To install heat pumps that don’t work I fear,

This is microeconomics gone totally  mad

For my future I feel very sad

I am a plumber! and so was my dad.
