Manny the Plumber

Once, my sixth grade teacher, Ms. Hartz, assigned us each a clipping from the classifieds in the newspapers. We had to write a poem about our clipping. I won.

Manny the Plumber:
Number One in the Number Two Business

He was a plumber; Manny was his name,
He was 58 years old and toilets were his game.

Manny was a plumber: the best one in the town,
When people’s poop got stuck, Manny shoved it down.

Manny did heat installations when people’s bathrooms got cold:
He warmed it up again, for people young and old.

Manny also did repairs, the best ones in the biz,
All these are parts of his job at which he was a whiz.

  2. I have re-lived Manny so many times it feels like Ground Hog Day. Wait - it almost is Ground Hog Day. Speaking of the original Hutchins' poet - i came out of "SP Retirement" to write Kelly a 26th Anniversary poem, sung to a Bob Dylan song she can't stand. Hil. Air. Ious. To bad its for her eyes only.
