Plumb Bob Sanitation Blues

In a world of weary O rings

Bouncing ballcocks in the vat

Stopcocks seized up motionless

Tragic heating thermostat

Buckets filled from sopping leaks

Stubborn washbowls will not drain

Sewage streams are backing up

We need new carpets once again

Send for Bob the Plumber chap

A toolbox wizard with a wrench

His magic tricks will mishap fix

And bleed away the putrid stench

He’ll tighten up those sweaty glands

Heal the splish-splash drippy blues

Set our sanitary sweet again

Flowing water free good news
