House Poem by Mindy

The lights are in but we have no sink,
The red carpet stairs still really stink.

There's plastic covering all the floors,
We bought the wrong size for the doors.

Our kitchen cabinets are still in storage,
I'm getting tired of eating porridge.

I don't want to be misunderstood,
I love our house, as I should.

Our "Orange Cave" is really great,
No dishes to do with paper plates :)

And with bedroom & dining all in one,
There's less rooms that need cleaning done.

The bathroom is old and falling apart,
But it's still a place for my day to start.

Though water won't go down the drain,
I really don't want to complain.

But how the dream lives in my head,
Of our own room with just our bed.

And a kitchen where I can cook a meal,
With a place for veggies I can peel.

And a room where friends can come and sit,
To relax & visit for a bit.

But for all good things we have to wait,
And when it's all done it will sure be GREAT!
