Notes About The Poem

A Length of Pipe

There was once a thin plumber named Stipe

Whose large wife always nagged with a gripe

She was constantly bummed

For each time that he plumbed

He came up inches short with his pipe



Well, he asked and he asked her to hush

Still, the scolding continued to gush

So he fit his wee shlong

With a pipe, extra-long

And the nagging was gone with a flush!
