Home-owner Haiku

 

I had stayed up late - until 1am. It was a warm sunday night at the end of February, 2011 and it was raining. Lots of snow and ice - and water too.

 
 

Water alarm beeps
Basement floor drain doesn't work
Rain pouring outside

Wet-vac will rescue!
From hole in wall flows a stream
Panicked search for vac

Twenty five gallons
ten gallon wet-vac lifts up
Short time to find cause

Downspout flex-pipe down
Ice and water has combined
Jam pipe back on spout

Floor is damp not dry
No spot for alarm to place
must check each half hour

Stream now a trickle
Wet-vac a-waits on the floor
Wet laundry in wash
