Falling down
By: Jo Smith. ~~~~ May 4, 2022
The old house is falling down
They no longer want it around.
Everyone who comes to town
Sneers and gives it a frown.
But, there once was a time
When the old house was doing fine.
It housed a family of eleven
And they actually called it heaven.
The family all moved away
And there was no one willing to stay
So the years took their toll
And now she sits all alone and cold.
A stray cat found a way in and now calls it home.
Now She no longer has to roam.
She sits all-day
And wishes she had someone with whom to play.
Finally, a homeless dog also moved in.
The cat became a friend and they now share a den.
The big problem now is they have nothing to eat.
Ms cat learned to go out and find them a treat.
Mr dog went digging and found meat under a log.
He also met a new friend, a bullfrog.
Along with the frog came a rabbit and a baboon.
Now the house looks like a cartoon.
The falling old house began to revive
She now looks very much alive.
The townspeople are so amazed
And wonder what is going on nowadays.
One day a litter of kittens was born.
Then along came a unicorn.
Next came baby rabbits and a squirrel.
Now the old house is in a whirl.
A young boy and girl began to paint and repair
They even brought a bed and chair.
They planted flowers and trees
Now the house has plenty of bees.
Day by day the house began to shine.
Her glory was now genuine.
She is no longer falling down and sad.
She now makes the whole town glad.
