Disconnected Poem by Audrey Heller

When I got up this morning and tried to turn
the water on, much to my surprise, the water
was all gone. Going to the telephone, I called
the water company, asking what went wrong
and why, this happened to me? 'Just a minute
was her reply, please give me your name,
then I will check my files and see, who is to
blame! When she looked at her files, she
found a current order, that stating today, they
should disconnect the water. Oh! No! 'How
can that be! This order that you have, never
came from me. She stated the persons name,
who had made that call. Upon hearing who it
was, I said I never heard of him at all. This, is
really awful, something has really gone amiss,
how could you make, such a mistake as this?
like this! Next time, I said, please be much more
thorough and check, before whatever you intend
to do. Then, last but not least, please, keep that
precious water, always, coming through!
