This old house…

I love this old house with all of its charm

plonked right down in the middle of a farm.

With it's sloping floors and cracks in the walls

its high vaulted ceilings leaking rain like a waterfall.

The air conditioner has broken, leaving us dripping in sweat.

Still manageable though, the fans haven't quit working yet.

The paint is chipping and the to do list is long

it's near a hundred years old and still standing strong.

There's been rain, sleet, snow even hail

but this old home has always prevailed.

It's not fancy or posh or level or square

but for me there's no rival, none even compare.
