Michael Schafer wrote a great poem, about broken stuff. His thoughts hit home; so I wrote this poem off the cuff!

Michael Schafer wrote a great poem, about broken stuff.

His thoughts hit home;  so I wrote this poem off the cuff!

 

Yes, everything is broken, around here too.

If you don't think so, just wait a minute or two.

 

 My wife will find a faucet, that likes to drip or a drain that will not drain.

She can spot a bush that needs trimming, from our window pane.

 

She smelled something very funny, in the bathroom, needless to say.

 So, I opened the window and told her, “Honey, let's wait one more day!”

 

She smelled it again, so I got the plumber to come in our home.

But the plumber could not smell anything, so I was not all alone.

 

He told me to put a freshener in the toilet, every 30 days.

Then, if she did not like it, I should call him right away.

 

She thought it smelled wonderful, she thought it was great!

So, the plumber and I, have been promoted to Smelling Saints!

 

Now if you think nothing is broken, don't be too alarmed.

For there’s always lots of work to do, right here on the farm.

 

I thank Michael Schafer, for these poetic thoughts; he is the MAN!

For this tells about the day in the life, in The Domino Clan!

I read Michael's poem right before yours. When I noticed your title, I knew I had to read your poem. In our house, my husband waits to the last moment before fixing anything. We had our roof and skylight about to cave in. Our bathtub creaked, and I'd warned him that I was going to fall into the basement. Our last adventure was a sinkhole in our driveway. I'd ignored his words and called the contractor. Each time the contractor remarked that we were lucky we weren't hurt. So all I can say is "What's next?"

A delightful read...as only a wife can spot all the things that need done around the house. LOL!!!!!

Sandie :o)

You were inspired and wrote a very fine and very personal poem of your own how funny life can be and all of its little circumstances.

But I do recall you writing about Andrew. Truly were in a broken home back then. And it was probably not something you can laugh at for a long time.
