Keep fatbergs away this festive season
You know Flusher and Dumpster and Lumpy and Oilen
Congealed and Curdle and Drainer and Greasen
But do you recall
The most famous fatberg of all?
Lard-olph the Red-Nosed fatberg
Had a very oily nose
And if you’ve ever poured fat
You would even see him grow
All of the other fatbergs
Used to gurgle and call him names
They never let poor Lard-olph
Join in any blockage games
Then one fatty Christmas Eve
The plumber came to say
"Lard-olph, with your nose so bright
How’d you block up the whole pipe?"
Then how the fatbergs loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Lard-olph the oily-nosed fatberg
You'll get stuck in history.”

This Christmas when you cook up a feast for your family, do not pour the leftover fats, oils and food scraps down the drain. Nobody wants a hefty plumbers bill on Christmas day!
Out with the Old, In with the Confusing!
I have hands but can’t clap.
What am I?
