The Old Rusty Gate

The old rusty gate
                                                       
Could not hang straight
                                               
It had way too many years on it
                                   
It needed dads tool kit.
 
When were young
                               
We hung on the gate and swung
                                   
Going back and forth
                                                   
But never north.
As we grew up
                                                       
The gate and us were no longer a new pup
                   
The weather got the best of us
                                 
We were not going to cause a fuss.
The old rusty gate needs
               
Some paint and some beads
                                         
Like when we were kids
                                               
She needs some new digs.
