Better Than Gold

Nick was a young man who was handsome, 
                    got stuck in a strange basement transom. 
                                          When trainer offered gold
                                              to be free, his wife told-
  “NO! THE VIEW'S WORTH MORE THAN THE RANSOM!"





*How I feel about my handsome hubby. I love all his views…*

Transom- A strengthening crossbar, in particular one set above above a door or hanging from the ceiling.
