STILL HOLDING MY OWN

STILL HOLDING MY OWN

There once was a broken sink
The repair cost makes me think
Much porcelain gone
Shards to step upon
It’s taking me right to the brink

Broken pipes and a dented junction
At the time, I felt no compunction
As I vented my spleen
I had kept it so clean
But at least it has limited function

The cause of the damage is known
To replace it, I might need a loan
Collective rage, I am sure
Hammers found on the floor
But then, I’m still holding my own

lol Great idea and execution! I found the photo hard to write for. Perhaps my muse will save me one evening!
