Dealing with the quirks


Some pictures tell a story 
We don’t really want to hear: 
Like this one, taken just this morning, 
Of my husband’s desk 
Beneath our brand new roof… 
(And yes, of COURSE there were 
 Papers that got wet!) 
At times like this I’m grateful 
Our response is never anger, 
Just a question: what do we need to do 
To solve this problem? 
Luckily, in a small town, 
 The roofers are your friends, 
And we all understand: 
 Old houses have their quirks!
