My toilet got clogged.
Again.
Plumber says
he’ll replace the drainage,
install a new bowl.
I consult an engineer.
He says
a 4-foot pipe
cannot substitute
a 7-foot,
and the new bowl
is far too small
for the task;
the fix will only aggravate the problem.
I sign the work order,
hand it to the plumber.
His math may be flawed,
but he’s the only one in town
who came up with a plan.
