Michael Schafer wrote a great poem, about broken stuff.
His thoughts hit home; so I wrote this poem off the cuff!
Yes, everything is broken, around here too.
If you don't think so, just wait a minute or two.
My wife will find a faucet, that likes to drip or a drain that will not drain.
She can spot a bush that needs trimming, from our window pane.
She smelled something very funny, in the bathroom, needless to say.
So, I opened the window and told her, “Honey, let's wait one more day!”
She smelled it again, so I got the plumber to come in our home.
But the plumber could not smell anything, so I was not all alone.
He told me to put a freshener in the toilet, every 30 days.
Then, if she did not like it, I should call him right away.
She thought it smelled wonderful, she thought it was great!
So, the plumber and I, have been promoted to Smelling Saints!
Now if you think nothing is broken, don't be too alarmed.
For there’s always lots of work to do, right here on the farm.
I thank Michael Schafer, for these poetic thoughts; he is the MAN!
For this tells about the day in the life, in The Domino Clan!

"She smelled something very funny, in the bathroom, needless to say."
Gotta love it!
But I do recall you writing about Andrew. Truly were in a broken home back then. And it was probably not something you can laugh at for a long time.
