Notes About The Poem

This is true my flat was renovated last year chaos ensued.

Renovation Lamentation

My cooker's in the living room
My fridge is in there too
There's dust on all my furniture
And I cant use my loo

There's workmen tramping in and out
I'm not allowed to lock my door
The workmen must have access
From 8 am till four

They're drilling in my bathroom
I cant hear my TV
I just wish they'd go away
Cos I really need a wee

The workmen don't speak English
And my Polish isn't great
I tried a conversation
But we just cant relate

I'll be glad when it's all finished
And my home's my home again
If this goes on much longer
I think I'll go insane

I'm longing for a shower
I haven't had one for weeks
But I bet when it's finished 
It will be full of leaks

They tell me when it's finished
I'll be pleased as pleased can be
All that I can say to that is
Oh well we'll see

I think that I'll go out now
Leave these cowboys on the range
I hate all this disruption
I really don't like change
