Poem

Sewers possess a beauty all their own
belching gas you can hear them hiss and groan.

A maze that stretches for hundreds of miles
they remove our stench and leave us with smiles.

Such an efficient waste removal tube
if you don’t admire their worth, you're a rube.

They're the bowels of a modern city
not to acknowledge them is a pity.

Interconnected pipes flush-out each house
and provide homes for a rat or a mouse.

A marvel of septic engineering
they spread good health without interfering.

Thanks to manholes and ubiquitous drains
our paved streets are not flooded during rains.

Sewer systems are an essential tool 
to remove liquid waste and smelly stool.

Try to imagine life without this web
of underground rivers, that flow and ebb.

They out pace a highly prized thoroughbred
and the trick is, they're gravity fed.
