Question: Water line break one of life's ironies in this poem !?
Last Laugh

All day torn up
carrying more than
a body can bear
bile in back of throat
finally, you give in
have to release it
spewing your guts
heart
and soul
into the crapper
blessed relief
you think and reach
up to flush
the filth away
nothing moves
no cleansing spin
water line broke
water turned off
and the filth
floating in bowl
looking back at you
has the last
laugh!.

Everything about plumbing is ironic, especially when your bowels are laughing in your bowl!.
If you'da left out the words "spewing your guts out", that would have painted a picture I don't want to see!.

I wish you Pepto-Bismol (I'm not sure what language that is, but I think it means "pink chalk")!.

I bet, at the time, you said "Oh Sh!.!.!.azzbutt"

At the moment people, computers and machines are breaking down!. They have what is known as "critical sensors"!. They know when you are under stress and make it worse by breaking down!.

If it is in Atlanta maybe Bob's suggestion is best!. If you are back home then maybe post this again (or a real inquiry) in the Plumbing category!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh! No!. What a nightmare!. Although, now i have a vivid image of a chuckling,cartoon-like mound of sick laughing from the bottom of the toilet!!

a fine answer to the question a few weeks ago,,, Is any subject off limits to poetry,,,

I too got a mental picture of a maniacal cartoonish face surrounded by green vapor laughing at you from below the rimWww@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe the toilet bowl actually didn't have the last laugh, because i am doing it right now! This also was great, you are on a roll ma---keep them coming!
