DROUGHT DISPLACEMENT THEORY

During drought season, drop a brick
down the inside of the toilet tank:
it will displace water—in order to save it.

A neighbor who had no bricks, 

added pebbles: chert, jasper & jade
which tumbled & clogged the flush valve.
She had to fish the rocks out the drain.

If you haven't a spare cobblestone or brick,

a plastic milk jug will do the job nicely.

Fill it with water, add plastic pupfish, 

cat-eyed marbles & fake plants.

Replace the cap. Sky blue is best.

Place your new aquarium in the tank

far from the floatrod & plunger valve. 

No dirty bricks or rocky beachhead
will plug the valve & the desert pupfish

will swim counter-current when you flush
& maybe the sky will open up & let them in.

First brick is in. Flushes just fine. You can take a plastic quart milk jug and fill it with water and place it away from the plunger. No need for bricks or pebbles.
