Water Loo - Nfc

WATER LOO Water water everywhere* and oh how it did stink water water everywhere and all my undies pink alone amid the rising tide of baby toys and diapers I stand in brownish bubbling surf wondering which is riper my mutinous crew has left the ship fleeing from the putrid stench I’ve also been abandoned by my “ever-faithful” wench. Alas as Captain I must endure consequences of this blunder hold my nose as I await my rescue by - the plumber. John G. Lawless 3/30/2016 My apologies to Samuel Taylor Coleridge for stealing this line from his poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

Very funny, John. Ain't that how it works? When there's a dirty diaper to be changed, it's like a game of musical chairs. You got caught without a chair. Love the humor! Peace my friend:)
