Beeper Rooter
.
Reserves were
out on duty, all around the P.N.E.,
Standing at
the corners, keeping traffic flowing free.
The focus of
this story, a career was soon at stake,
When R.P. Brenda
Vandenborn, went off to take a break.
.
She went into
the trailer, closed the bathroom door,
Took off her
full equipment belt, and dropped it on the floor.
Pepper spray
and handcuffs, flashlight and baton,
Radio and bullet
pouch, her pager hanging on.
.
Time to go
back out there, Brenda got redressed,
Her feet were
aching badly, she soon would be depressed.
As the belt
was swung around her, Brenda making haste,
The pager did
a swan dive, from that belt around her waist.
.
It hit the
target in the middle, barely made a sound,
Just a tiny,
little splash, as Brenda turned around.
Sinking quite
unnoticed, because she was quite rushed,
It disappeared
so easily, the commode so quickly flushed.
.
Her pager too
important, to meet this kind of fate,
In fact it
could be critical, with her job in real estate.
The call went
out for plumbers, to do the job you know,
Of retrieving
Brenda's beeper, from the septic tank below.
.
There is a
happy ending, to this famous water act,
The pager somewhat
soggier, but, seemed to be intact.
That plumber
she will nominate, her hero of the year,
He prevented
Brenda Vandenborn, from flushing her career.
