.3. Dotty Decorating Poem by David Threadgold

I like my walls all painted cream
With doors and skirting’s white
It makes the sun last longer
Before it turns to night

Every year I paint the scuffs
The chips all scrapes and scratches
I always try to use the same
To make sure that it matches

But when the sun shines sideways
My walls look polka dotted
From constant years of touching up
My paintwork all looks spotted
