Leaky Roof
Drip, Drip, water drops on my bed.
Drip, Drip, exploding in my head.
Roof sprung leak, sometime in the night.
Can’t rest, supposed damage gives fright.
–
Need fix, or will only get worse.
Hope repairs will not lighten purse.
Friend I told gave me a number,
Told me call, man is a wonder.
–
Unsure, had referrals before,
Wary of one looking to score.
Hiring workmen leaves me tense.
Glad gave in to friends insistence.
–
Roof was repaired very same day.
Asked kind sir “How much do I pay?”
Only charged a nickel, that’s five,
Gave twenty, Samaritans survive!

I went into my bedroom to prepare for a restful nights sleep. The ceiling fan was spinning. I felt drops of water, like it was raining! It doesn’t rain indoors, or at least it isn’t supposed to! My roof was leaking! I didn’t do anything that night. Slept on the dry side of the bed in a fitful sleep about my Leaky Roof.
