Notes About The Poem

For the Still Holding My Own Poetry Contest of Margarita Lillico

____________________________________________________________________-

It's Almost Criminal

I’m a broken down ugly old sink,
but I’ll still give you water to drink,
yet I leak all the time,
and it should be a crime.
I’m so loud that you won’t sleep a wink.

I've had this kind of sink before. Maybe it got smashed up because it was so loud?
