Toilet Triolet

I pushed the handle twice, it wouldn’t flush,
And I was in a stinkin’ heap o’ trouble.
The crew was waiting. I was in a rush.
I pushed the handle twice; it wouldn’t flush.
I should have done my business in the brush
Or down behind the new construction rubble.
I’ve pushed the handle thrice, it will not flush,
And I am in a stinkin’ heap o’ trouble.
