One Man's Ceiling

Upstairs neighbor sprang a leak
So my place was affected.
When you live apartment-style,
That stuff must be expected.

Still, it is a drag to deal
With other people’s messes,
Like my life is lacking in
My own ongoing stresses.

Luckily, it wasn’t bad,
The damage barely staining,
Just enough, though, that I have
A reason for complaining.

Sometimes it is good to let our frustration out. I'm glad it was not worse. Merry Christmas Irene.
