There once were two families with kitchens in shambles,
One family was smart the other one gambled.
We need to remodel, both families agreed,
So they started their planning to see what they'd need.
One family choose blue with yellow accents,
The other thought white with stainless made sense.
They purchased new products, not made from cheap tin,
Let's do it right this time, not over again.
But now it was time to hire a GC,
One family saw value, the other his fee.
He is professional, dependable the one family said,
He's too high, said the other, and went and hired Fred.
Six months now have past since the projects began,
One family eats in their new kitchen, the other from cans.
You see, Fred was much cheaper, and how hard could it be,
It only takes a few days on Reality TV.
The kitchen's half done, and that half is all wrong,
The family hired another GC, because Fred is long gone.
I'll make the story's moral as simple as I can,
Choose a professional, not a flash in the pan.
