Plumbers Never Go Out of Business

Plumbers Never Go Out of Business

Too much money, not enough... Too little money, not enough...

Joining the pack of rodents on the commute to the cheese...

If the cheese is already provided on the platter, we would lack the hunger and motivation to move.

Can't win either way.

Cash fuels addictions, but a lack of it fuels violence and criminal activity alike.

A hamster on a wheel... Longing to downgrade to a fly on the wall...A domino effect all around.

Regardless—shit drops from the top's anal cavity and makes its way down to the sewers, where I and the rest of us average folk reside...

It stinks, but we get used to the scent...

Years go on, and the pressure of the turds pumping out only increases...

Some put on a brave face, a smile being their imaginative snorkel, but at the end of the day, we can all see right through their bullshit.

Some find some temporary direction and traction leading them out of the sewer... But remember, plumbers never go out of business.
