Finding Nemo
 
poor Pat
had to pay 600 dollars for a new toilet, which
he discovered he needed when he tried to find the
plastic block his son had flushed down there
thinking he was sending the plastic fishes inside
the block to the ocean and freedom.
 
“Yee hee!” the boy yelled
as the plastic cube lodged
in the plumbing.
 
when the toilet came out, a water pipe broke,
the seal on the floor needed to be redone,
and something broke in the water tank.
 
the plumber installed the new toilet, though Pat
might have made out better buying one himself
at Walmart or Home Depot.   and if that kid
hadn’t seen “Nemo”, none of this
would have happened.
