If These Walls Could Talk

If These Walls Could Talk If these walls could talk, how dare you ask such a thing? What do you think we do, and remember we see everything? You come in here and bang the door the plaster looses its hold Never think of what you’ve done, your actions loud and bold I could tell your mum some tales, the boys you bring in here And you never know I might- I even know about the beer… Your thoughtless ways, you draw on me, and dig holes with a pen Then you scream it’s your bedroom, and slam the door again You want to be careful girl just because you abuse me and you kick I may have stood for 8o years but you really make me sick I was once proud and smooth and you have knocked great chunks out of me But I will get my own back, just you wait and see The next time you bring him in here and think that no one knows I will show them what you are, all your sins I’ll put on show One more bang will be your last that much I promise you For when you bang the door and him, I am gonna drop down on you two. © 09/09/2012

Congratulations on your #4 win in my contest! I liked the attitude in this, and how a person's actions, like banging a door, affect the walls :)

interesting use of personification in this contest poem; an original idea to have the walls literally 'talk'! :-)

Sounds like the wall is issuing an ultimatum to the perpetrators. Good write as usual Mandy.
