The Little House Tries to Heal

The little house on the plantation.

It tries to heal.

Heal from periods of ineffective chimneys -

one awaiting for wood to be burnt and air to be puffed,

another lying in waiting only to serve Santa Claus.

Oh, for a practical working chimney!

The little house on the plantation.

It tries to heal, heal its ears and heart

from exposure to the whining creaks of the glossy window.

Creak, creak, creak, ad infinitum,

went the glossy window when the light wasn't on it.

A glossy window, not quite suitable for the little house on the plantation.

The little house on the plantation, it tries to heal.

Now with a working chimney, windows and doors.

The stove in the centre of the house,

working hard to pump warmth throughout the house.

Finally in sync.

Just awaiting the last window pane.

Hopefully it will fit in well.
