In praise of plumbers...

[rabidsamfan]

The plumber's come and gone again,
that man with greying hair,
a mustache like a caterpillar,
and apologetic air.

Last fall he fixed my toilet seal,
and I was grateful then.
Today he came and fixed the heat,
Most glorious of men!

"There's nothing so much wrong,"
he said, but took the thing to bits
And now the furnace purrs along,
Before it was the pits.

So here's to them that fixes things
The men (and women too!)
I'd hate to have to learn it all,
I'd rather call on you!
