Our Duplex
as i shower every morning, staying on the mat,
im worried if my steps get hazy, i may step on a rat,
i walk onto the bathroom floor, molded nice and green,
im so happy that i live here, i wish it was a dream,
i glide around the house all day, inspecting every inch,
knowing that if i miss one spot, we might be housing family finch,
circling the inside, too scared to do the out,
worried i might get eaten, by our basements giant mouse,
as i go into the living room, i try not looking down,
the wonderful mess of stains, are evident, at how we love to have them round,
i try to hang things on the walls, and they crumble to my feet,
and as i walk into the dining room, the ear wigs come to greet,
i try cooking lunch for you, and accidentally blow a fuse,
you arent here to help me, i call you to share the news,
im locked out of the house again, it happens all too much,
and its terrible because, i couldnt finish cooking lunch
i cant do the laundry, although i know i should,
i feel kind of bad though, the basements just no good,
everything is rusted, broken, or falling apart,
and when we call the landlords, i know they wish wed just de-part,
it seems like when we go to sleep, new bugs make their mark,
living in the closets, all over in the dark,
i guess i dont mean to complain, i just hate being in this hole,
i wouldnt be suprised if next, were befriending mr. mole,
but everything is worth it, because i live here with you,
and i love you more than anything, theres nothing more true,
just know that i love you every day you leave me behind,
one day i may not be here, i may have been eaten alive!!!
