The Story of the Floody Pipe

I'll sing you a song

'Bout a floody pipe

Says he, "It's all wrong...

"I can fix it tonight!"

With a trip to Lowes

And a bang and a clank

"OH, shit!"...he goes

As my hopes slowly sank

Boards in my kitchen

Nails on my floor

It's hard to keep the kids in

the other room

A call to his dad

Just might save the day

but answers, he did not have

About the 'newest' leak

With a, "Call me tomorrow."

You'd just have to know these men

My heart filled with sorrow

As the water still pools there

All I wanted was a floor

That doesn't flood

When washing clothes galore

Each day dirtied by my kids

So now what's been fixed must

be redone

It caused the new drip, I trust

that this will be it

Out he goes

Knowing what he must do

With a list back to Lowes

And the A/C turned to off

The heat envelopes us

The children and me

I shouldn't have made such a fuss

Just for that puddle to be fixed

He returns with high hopes

With a new drill bit

And he cuts through the slopes

Of the pipe that won't fit

So is it fixed, this morning

You ask

Let me give warning

as I say, "Just don't ask!"
