Plumber PS

I didn't know what to do when I left school,
But I thought I would become a plumber, wouldn't that be cool.

Most of the work is inside I thought,
But I should have looked closer, I really ought.

People always think a plumber earns a lot and will be well to do,
Most plumbers are not rich, but they deserve it when they have their hand stuck in the loo.

Most plumbing work is at floor level or even below,
And the aches and pains get stronger as the years just go.

To some people we are just heroes as we stop a torrential leak,
But then we are the bad men when a leak comes back next week.

We are all known for driving white vans, but mine is actually blue,
I never tell anyone I am a plumber because everyone will have a job that they want you to do.

Did you know you can make water run uphill,
So I guess I am proud to be a plumber, but I am happier still is when a happy customer finally pays their bill.
