Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? No darling, verily, I think I shan't. Perhaps, pray tell, the merry month of May? No, I am very sorry that I can't. Aye, a plumber's helper, I shall decide, as when life's business I must attend, you stand at the ready, e'er by my side assuring all things come out in the end. As some make messes long as they shall live, all men must have a spouse who will forgive.

Can't resist saying this: A plumber's best friend is that "all things come out" OF "the end." --- as well as 'in the end.' ~ P's BFF

Haha, that's a point well-taken! I think that wording of this whole poem is unfortunate - lol
