I twist a knob and you pour from a spout

a steady supply, the end of which I doubt

Until one day, you are nowhere around

I twist the knob and hear not a sound

Alas, I am as sad as can be

where have you gone, sweet amenity?

How could I take you for granted so

I depend on you greatly, I now know

Without you there, life has lost its flare

buckets and stairs just cannot compare

when the time has come to wash my hair

By far, you are the best for many things

from washing dishes to toilet flushing

My love has never been this strong

a day apart would seem far too long

But three days was like an eternity

without you there in great quantity

For you make all of life’s necessities

fly by with the very greatest of ease

I praise the day that you were invented

and you may often be taken for granted

but when you’re gone, you’ll be lamented
