A Novel Use For a Plumber's Snake

Pa hankered cheeses of every kind.

   Alas, it placed him in a painful bind!

      "For fast relief", said his wife,

         "Plumber's snakes should ease yer strife!"

            "No thanks!  I'll use Ex-Lax for my behind!"

G'day Bob ... give a large plate of Jerusalem artichokes a try with butter, salt and pepper - you might need cheese again in a day or two - Lindsay
