Kim’s decorations for fall are always straight out of a magazine
The rest of us visit her house and exclaim over her decisions.
Her parents are decorators, and I believe they help her with this.
She claims it is all her own idea, but no one buys it.
Because she is not a put together woman in any other area of life.
Her clothes do not match, her hair is a mess, and she looks dowdy.
Her house is impeccable; perfecto, and it happens while she is at work.
Two cars with Michigan plates are parked at her house for a week.
Her parents lug in bolts of materials, and bags of autumn goodies.
Kim takes full credit, and we let her because we adore her.
But we all know better.
The House was featured on the T.V.
Celebrities put on hard hats
posed with sledge hammers.
It was said that the old structure
had ‘good bones’. What it did have
were walled-in nocturnal whispers
and a resident paranoia.
Interior decorators re-imagined rustic hues
a bohemian nest chic-est
Rooms were staged and displayed
yet beneath the contemporary
the old retold its history.
Much of the house was to be renovated
pastel and neutral colors
replaced flock and wainscots,
yet bricked-over alcoves
still dripped a dried red rust
of long held rumors.
The house concealed itself,
but its fiber and pith,
its conduits continued to throb-on
echoing an older heartbeat,
a retelling
of long unsolved crimes
thinly painted over.

I like to read about her majesty Queen Elizabeth and his highness Prince Phillip,
They are our favorite Queen and Prince.
They lead model lives and are very fashionable,
Their estates are exclusive and enhanced.
Buckingham palace is a favorite residence,
Decorated lavishly by the decorators with exquisite paintings and furniture.
What a beautiful lifestyle they have.
I like to visit with them and see what is happening.
Her majesty's fashions are revered with the beautiful hats.
She walks with her husband Prince Phillip .
The beautiful days they have with their neighbors and friends,
Her majesty always walks with her corgis.
Queen Elizabeth is very diversified meeting politicians and royalty from different countries,
She excercises diplomacy and kindness with her proletariat.
I am a real fan and I like to read about them,
This is a coveted hobby that I cherish.

People are neither good nor bad.
We are both; to different degrees,
At different times, with different people.
Some feel harder than others.
If they are wise they become artists,
Musicians, poets, potters, weavers, decorators, hair stylists.
They cannot help it.
Their feelings have to ooze out somewhere in a creative way.
The cows hung polka dot curtains on the fences
It was the latest fad
And when the cows in the neighboring paddock
came to look they told them, "Only cool cows had curtains !!"
So they went to find striped curtains for their fences.
Non-conformist cows steered clear of fabric curtains at all costs
but had the very latest in electric fences.
Barbed wire was archaic and - barbarian.
The coolest of all cows
had no fences.

The Devil got the sack last week
He’s feeling at a loss
For several thousand years now
He’s been in charge, the boss
The new man’s changing everything
Hired a whole new team
The place is so much nicer
A more relaxed regime
Red hot pokers up the ****
De rigueur, they are not
Only those that ask, will get
A poker up their bot
There’s been a change of fragrance too
Well, sulphurs so outré
Seems Lily of the valley
Is the order of the day
We’re getting leather sofas, which
Could well be here quite soon
And a squad of decorators
Working hard in every room
Now they’ve fixed the air conditioner
It’s behaving as it should
Hell is rather pleasant
In fact it’s jolly good
So when you pop your clogs
And you’re deciding where to go
Forget the trip to Heaven
It’s much better down below
