Waiting for the Grown-ups

When I got up this morning there was water in the shower

and I thought: \"How am I going to survive?\"

First off, I called a plumber, but I waited for an hour

and I doubt that he\'s intending to arrive.

I tried a sticking plaster, but that was a disaster - 

it did not begin to mitigate the leak.

In fact, it seems the water is flowing even faster.

Am I going round the bend or up the creek?

I\'m calling the insurance.  It\'s a test of my endurance.

I\'m on hold - that means I\'ll have to wait for ever

and the bloody dreadful music simply makes me want to lose it.

How I wish that I was competent and clever.

When everything goes wrong, why aren\'t I big and strong

enough to deal with all the problems in my life?

Now I\'ve got a sinking feeling water\'s coming through the ceiling.

I\'m just waiting for the grown-ups to arrive.
