The Pipes Are Calling

This old house is a battle.
The plumbing
              rattles & hammers,
stammers & bangs.
                             Water flow is diminished
to a trickle. The finger of fate
          is in your face & wagging.
Ceiling sagging & stained.
A leak is apparent; the pipes
are drained!
Decrepit pipes are stalling.
           Call the plumber before they
f
      a
            l
                  l.
