Plumbers

Without great words of wisdom, a nation will survive. Without purveyors of idiom, a dynasty will thrive. But let the sewers overflow when waters run amiss, And you will find a people on the brink of the abyss. Kingdoms rise to glory through the works of humble men Whose masterpiece is laid with pipe, not scratches from a pen. So if the water from the tap should flow with earthy umber, Best dry the mess with manuscript and then go call a plumber.
