Poem I wrote

 .

.

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

.

.


It would be lovely to live in a castle


With a room for every day of the year


Surrounded by well-tended gardens


A vast lawn and herds of tame deer


Then I notice  .....


The roof needs immediate replacing


The left wing is turning to rubble


The beams in the attic need bracing


The plumbing is nothing but trouble


The costly heating is not enough


The gardens are all overgrown


The oak floors are buckling and rough


Many rodents scurry and roam


Oh ...


It would be lovely to live in a castle


Surrounded by calm rustic scenes


But the castle I want to move into


Only exists in my dreams
