As silver paint drips from my stressed paint brush
I stand back to admire a collection of stormy clouds
Each pother is decorated with a neat shiny edge
A border that tells me, even dark days contain some light
A royal appointed judge in red robes
Sits proud, bathed in gloss upon a cover
I leaf the thick novel, packed tight with many words
Yet I shall not pass verdict, I know not this book
I am no plumber, but with this wrench of determination
I hope to prize this porcelain sink from that stubborn wall
Everything else from this baron kitchen is packed
While I may allow defeat, those chrome taps are coming with me
