Convenience

Convenience

So now we have a loo

And a shower too!

And feel so free

To get about

During the night without

Treading on the cat,

Slipping on the doormat,

Or stub my toe

While walking slow.

And not to chose,

To nurse a bruise

From our chest of drawers

(That became a chore)

And had my share

Bashing into chairs,

Or climb steep stairs

And taken unaware

Of biting gnats.

And I did twitch,

Fumbling for light switch

In the black and cold

Not feeling so bold.

Now an urge to go is

Not such a blow!

There's instant light

Without a fight!

I did deplore

Walking on a cold kitchen floor.

It’s good to have

An upstairs lav -

It was so overdue!

Why didn't we have a loo

Upstairs before?
