With
great trepidation I plunged the
murky depths
my first attempt
turned
the plunger inside
out!
but
undeterred I plunged
plunged
on until the
toilet began to moan and
I
knew victory was in
sight
bravely I
plunged
on
and after
a few
more lunges
the toilet
submitted
with a great
gurgling
sound
that
was terrifying
to witness
victory was mine with but only the cleaning up left to do, all’s well that ends well although it’s no midsummer night’s dream without you after a terrible comedy of errors …
