"DOWN THE  DRAIN" I put a speaker in the john, The one my brother lives upon. The microphone, there in my  room, Like me was hidden, in the gloom. When I heard footsteps go  inside, I knew the throne was occupied. So, feigning pain, I bared my  soul: "I fell into the toilet bowl! You've got to help; don't let me down! Please fish me out before I drown!" I giggled at the very  thought Of brother being overwrought. And then, of course, the thrill it gave me To know that Mommy came to save me. I heard her screaming, racing, rushing, And then the bathroom-sound of........ FLUSHING?!
