Heres a poem
Menzies House
A house of many rooms
Well roofed and nice gardens
But the lavi is out the back
In traditions with the Sullivans
And my family in Wagin
Its sit proud of place of place in the vege garden
Sometimes it can be come quite whiffy
For all that is left behind
But still it sits proud of place among the veges
Menzies would be have been proud that most of it was left outside
But alas, the house was modified and the lav brought inside, the plumbling not done properly, to the everlasting frustration to its scion.
But occasionally there is gate crashers, that try and talk to occupants, end up fighting them and shitting in their vege garden.

It might qualify more as a short story then a poem.
