Still Holding My Own

"Somethings become part of our existence, never dispensing them however old or cracked they are...! May not be out of any special fondness or attachment, but simply so, defying all rationale."- By Poet

The syllable count-10, 7, 7, 10 is followed in all the three limericks. I owned my house many many years back. Changed my furniture, even kitchen rack. But there is a rusted sink. 10, It is tilted at the brink Fear if it will come off the hinge and crack Now my sink looks a worn out contraption. My wife's upset, has a hot reaction. All its former glamor, gone. In my wife's eyes, it's a thorn. Still hold it to my strange satisfaction! Though a washbasin, looks a urinal. Water keeps flowing as through a canal. In lower pipe, there's a kink. Anytime my sink may sink. Why I keep it, I have no rationale!

Three great limericks which I'm sure are fiction. Otherwise be ready for expensive repairs.

Ah you did write a set of limericks that truly is fitting for the picture prompt dear sweet valsa, I absolutely love your rhymes, i find this picture a bit difficult to look at, because i am a severe germaphobe. Haha. But youv nailed it! Whichever form you do, you just do it so well! Best wishes for the contest. Sending you light always~
