*** My New Carpet ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

I love my new carpet I truly do
with multi faceted shades of blue
bought thick expensive shag pile
knowing full well it lasts a while
it just lies perfectly of the floor
even colour matches my de core
feet no longer pick up a splinter
keeping me warm in the winter
it feels soft and cosy under foot
instead of wood that was carput
no ugly drafts from underneath
that caused me to chatter teeth
no more din from children's toys
know the one boys will be boys
Mrs sure does love shag pile too
says there's room enough for two
loving romance has reappeared
carpet is one thing to be shared
I thank you carpet most sincere
for once again she calls me dear
