Today the prompt is to base a poem on a news article. I chose one from the Grauniad . . .
Recipe for success
Perfect shelves and unblocked drains are surely
All that anyone could ever wish for?
It would not matter that the cupboard doors
Fell off, or that the bathroom take keeps dripping
As long as the shelves and perfect and the drains unblocked.
Never mind that the roof is missing so many tiles
That you need an umbrella over the bed when it rains;
Never mind that the broken window means that
You need your winter coat, gloves and a hat to visit the loo.
Perfect shelves and unblocked drains are your guarantee
Of domestic harmony and bliss, they are your happiness
Assured from now on, your life will be trouble free
Because you have perfect shelves and unblocked drains.
