Ode To the Toilet Plunger

With your red rubber cup that makes suction. You have come in handy many a day, when there has been a flushing obstruction. I think you deserve hazard pay. You've saved toys, an unfortunate cell phone or two. Then there is always the times your needed, when we are visited by You-know-Who (pweh). So your heroics bears being repeated. Your sacrifice it knows no bounds, entering murky waters, stopping floods. Or pulling to surface the items you found. Now aren't you glad you don't have taste buds? Some seem to see you as just an extractor. Yet in movies, your comic timing is beyond belief, when your stuck on the face of a leading actor. That you didn't quit your day job is a great relief. Though everyone knows you on sight so well, To be an unsung hero, seems to be your lot in life. Taken out and plunged into porcelain hell, Where only you would dare to dive. So Plunger, Oh Toilet Plunger, as we kneel here before the throne. Let us sing out your praises, well, maybe after we can stop these groans. For the contest; Make Me laugh..Make me Giggle Sponsored by Tracie ~*~ Indigo dream Weaver Placement: 1st
