Overflowing With Hope

The house is as fresh as a drain -
the toilet is blocked yet again -
but 'nature arose'
and holding my nose,
I prayed as I yanked on the chain...

Woah that actually happened to ours and i thought it only happens here, yet now i realise it happens everywhere. But not everyone can write such a super cool limerick on it as you could. Kudos! Plz also read and comment on my newest poem too.

Ha ha. Congrats on your top billing, Jack. It took me a while to realise that the manufacturers always ensure that the cistern can’t deliver more water than the toilet can accommodate. Terry
