A Poem For My Home

Dear old house,
that is no more,
I dream of you each night,
as I snore...

I miss your old 
wooden charm
Not like this plastic
tube that does me harm

It erodes my flagging spirit
and sometimes, I
think I hear it...
That comforting creak
of the old wooden stairs
of my old home that
my heart does so seek

If it's partical board
laced with formaldehyde,
and cheap plastic tubs,
that no human could fit in,
if this is something
that sounds good to you
you can buy my new trailer
and I'll go live with that
 old lady in the shoe
