Whenever there’s a problem
We know just what to do
Pick up the phone, dial it out
Call in Jack, and his crew
Consisting of the following
A plunger and a wrench
If we keep our fingers crossed
He’ll rid us of this stench!!
Toilets always clog here
It seems like it’s a game
Still, it’s hard to point out
Who, really, is to blame!
The men swear it’s gremlins
Sneaking into the stalls
Such a silly thing to say
Gremlins don’t exist, at all
We can’t install a camera
Cause that’s against the law
Maybe it’s the manufacturer
Who sent one, with a flaw
It really doesn’t matter, right?
We will eventually figure it out
When the Ty-D Bol Man* surprises
And someone lets out a shout
Then we’ll nab the jokester
Who likes to stuff the bowls
We’ll put him to work, for Jack
Changing the toilet paper rolls

I have three toilets, two of which have refused to flush for almost a month. They work about every third day. We have a septic tank and way to much rain. Thankfully there is no odor and the toilets have remained clean since the first “stop up.” Down to using one toilet. I told my husband this morning I had never appreciated the wonderful sound of a flushing toilet like I have learned to do. 😀

I remember your story of company coming with only one working toilet!! Some things we take for granted, until they don’t work anymore. 😀
