Whacky Weeping Winter Kiwi Houses Poem by Terence George Craddock

Whacky Weeping Winter Kiwi Houses

Rating: 5.0


passing a major milestone
sixteen months in a house
thrown a tight small fortune
at multiple repair problems
buying a bargain storm damaged
pumping down drains soaked good money
fixing gutters missing phantom roof leaked
plumbing cowboy spaghetti junction not funny
weeping lounge wall isn't tolerance curtain call
not rising damp but gravity wall fountain feature crapper
winter temperatures plummeting chill a fool wake up fall
pipes under house leaking isn't an ok warm house wrapper
plumber rip off Mike Best claimed to be better than the rest
but his scam job proved him not top cat but liar deceitful rat

Its an awful thing to have to go through. I feel as though I am one of the lucky one that has never witnessed or been involved in anything of that magnetude. But when your at your lowest eb and for another human to take adventage of others in their time of need is heart renching. Annette

normally I do not write traditional form sonnets but a Shakespearean sonnet about house repairs was a stitched up genre too tempting to resist
