Kitty Lou Poet Rhyme

My Old House

My floors are slanted
And tables are tipping
The back porch sags
My bathtub is dripping
A chimney needs pointing
Wood stairs are creaking
My windows are drafty
The old roof is leaking
The toilet is running
My furnace is rusted
A basement that floods
The doorbell is busted
Small narrow closets
What were they made for?
But despite my complaints
Its finally paid for.

Connie Marcum Wong November 7, 2017 at 1:59 AM This is such a delightful poem Kitty! I can certainly identify with a few of the things on your list. Our house is finally paid for too. What a relief and joy it was to pay it off. This poem left me smiling. Thank you for that! : ) Kitty Lou November 10, 2017 at 8:00 PM Thank you Connie!
