When water goes into the drain
It’s meant to drain I’ve heard
But that is not what it would do
When on the faucet whirred
Instead the sink would fill on up
Which wasn’t quite ideal
My dad agreed and told me to
Remove the drainage seal
So under supervision by
A man who cannot walk
I did the work he couldn’t do
Through his command and talk
The trap removed without a hitch
It emptied out real nice
But still the water filled the drain
So that would not suffice
Next gunk was taken from the pipe
But neither would that do
The drain cap was a’clogged as well
I couldn’t reach it too
So with my handy Leatherman
I then undid a screw
Which let me move the nasty rod
By stench alone was eww
Though to be fair the stuff I took
Out from the pipe was rank
And water from inside the trap
You best believe it stank
But anyways, the cover freed
I cleaned a little more
Then reassembled what I’d moved
And took trash out the door
So if you need your plumbing fixed
Now you know who to call
(It isn’t me I fear, not yet
I don’t know much at all)
Fun fact about the drain unclogging:
I used the piss cup that they gave me when I went down the Grand Canyon to catch the water that came out from the sink. I feel the need to tell you this to brag that I did not use it a single time, and as such it has been able to, until this day, proudly sit atop my dresser, having never been polluted.
It has now been polluted. The stuff in that sink was indescribably nasty.
We will see if it takes on a new life as a utility item in our house, but I don’t think it’s going back on my dresser.
