The Nearsighted Plumber

I'm startin' to run out of nursery rhymes

So, I made up one of my own

It's about a nearsighted plumber

That was accidently glued to his throne

Once upon a time, long, long ago

There was a plumber, who I'll call Dale

Poor old Dale had a hard time plumbing

Cause he really couldn't see very well

He'd gotten a call, "The toilet won't flush!

Please, can you come right away?"

Well, old Dale got in such a hurry

He forgot to take his glasses that day

Well, by the time old Dale had got there

The house was in quite a mess

He realized he'd forgotten his glasses

But he'd give that toilet his best

He'd not seen this since plumbing school

And then, he only saw it on a test

By the time, he got his tools together

The water was starting to crest

He had spotted the problem right away

But remember now, he can only half see

The water was squirtin' 6 feet high

And poor Dale was only 5 foot 3

He laid his glue on the toilet seat

While trying his best not to drown

He couldn't see where he put it at

And, of course, that's where he sat down

He didn't even know till it was too late

He'd bent over to loosen a nut

And that's when he first noticed it

The toilet was glued to his butt

So, if you ever need a real good plumber

He's the man for the job, without fail

And I hope you enjoyed this story

Of the nearsighted plumber named Dale

I forgot tell you, there's one more thing

About the nearsighted plumber named Dale

He still has that toilet seat

For the thing's still glued to his tail
