15,650. THE SUPPOSED PLUMBER

THE SUPPOSED PLUMBER
The supposed plumber said it'll never
work, but it did, and all water drained
out fine. So what do you say then to a
supposed plumber? Especially when he
still wants a hundred and twenty dollars
just for coming out, plus his hour and a
half doubtful work. And it's January 18th
and 21 degrees out with ice on the crappy
hill he had to drive up to get here. As if
all of it was wrong and everything else
was right. His van was skidding, all the
way down, and as I waved goodbye I
wished him well and he'd left a nice
wrench behind.
