The exercise:

Write two haiku about: the plumber.

New hot water tank is getting installed tomorrow morning. Happy to get that done before we're there full time.

That's definitely a good plan! Especially in winter :-D
I shall continue the Sunday poem for a little bit, and see where it goes. I like your idea of maybe just letting it play out without making it a year-long thing though.

The plumber
In the new bathroom,
With a length of lead piping
The plumber did it.

-----
My toilet flushes
With hot water because the
Plumber done f*ed up!

[First one I hope you get the Clue/Cluedo reference. Second is a true story: the Director of HR at one company I worked for had some plumbing work done in his bathroom and they managed to connect the hot water up to the toilet flush somehow...]

Greg - indeed. And... well, don't go making it two years long because it takes that long to play out.

That second one... man, that's hard to believe that actually happened. Then again, a local gas station had their delivery driver put the diesel and regular gasoline in the wrong tanks, so I suppose anything is possible...

(They figured out what happened after half a day or so and are offering to pay for any repairs people suffered as a result of the mix up, just for the record)
