Fire Hydrant

There were three Woonsocket waterworks guys in glow-green sweatshirts working on the guts of a huge red fire hydrant on my street today. I've never seen fire hydrant surgery before. I asked, what happened? Someone had driven into it, knocking it over. The guys used files, brushes, and wrenches to fix it and set it back straight. As I walked away I kept thinking of those hydrant-shaped cookie jars filled with dog biscuits.
