A poet at our sister company in the USA – Mr Rooter – has written the following which appears on the Mrs Rooter blog.
We thought we would share it with you this Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve it was Snowing
The weather was cold
But Santa and his reindeer
Continued on so bold
The clickety-clack of the reindeer paws
And the ho-ho-ho of dear Santa Claus
He sprang to the chimney in less than a dash
And landed below with a terrible splash
The chimney you see to Santa’s amazement
Went to the fireplace down in the basement
The sewer was blocked and all he could see
Was two feet of water and floating “uch”
Santa thought he was finished
He’d not get to his sled
When a shadow appeared
Top of the stairs dead ahead
The bangety-bang-bang of a sewer machine
As it came down the steps for the sewer to clean
Santa then smiled cause in the dim light
Mr. Rooter was there to deliver his plight
Merry Christmas said he
And Santa replied
If it wasn’t for you
Christmas could’ve been done
The basement was clean in less than an hour
Santa went up to catch a quick shower
Mr. Rooter was gone by the time Santa was done
But he swore to his reindeer he’d tell everyone
Mr. Rooter saved Christmas Santa said with a blink
HO-HO-HO don’t you know they’re “Quick as a Wink”.
Don’t forget, if you need a plumber today or tomorrow (or at any time over the holiday period) you can call Drain Doctor on 0800 70 71 72. There are no call-out charges and no extra costs for holiday working.
