The Raving
Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I pondered weak and weary,
Over quaint and curious volumes
of forgotten lore.
Suddenly there came a rushing,
as of someone slowly flushing
water 'cross my chamber floor.
Vainly then I sought to borrow
plungers to relieve my sorrow.
Alas, I slowed it down and nothing more.
As the mess was slow subsiding,
my thoughts were strong to go a-riding
perhaps to find a package store.
I jumped astride my motor scooter,
a big black bird screamed "Roto-Rooter!"
And away go troubles down the drain.
Quoth the raven, ‘Evermore.’

“The Raving” is Roto-Rooter's longest running television commercial. First produced in 1979, The Raving was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's famous
1845 poem, The Raven. Every fall, Roto-Rooter brings back this classic for the Halloween season.
