The Rent

A fun poem

 

Feeling frazzled worn out and spent,

Racing round where is that rent.

I know I put it in the drawer,

Maybe somehow if fell on the floor.

 

I know, I'm coming, can't you wait?

Good grief you'd think I was ten days late.

I know I saw it just today,

This is crazy what can I say.

 

I know you think I'm trying to stall,

Here come with me right down the hall.

See that table over there,

This keeps up I'm pulling out my hair.

 

I placed your money in this drawer,

Don't waste your time I've checked the floor.

I really don’t know what to say,

I know you think I just can't pay.

 

I really truly have your rent,

Lying now just makes no sense.

Help me look I beg you, please,

Look under there, down on your knees.

 

I have no clue just where it went,

What is that? Is that the rent?

I really can't believe my eyes,

Behind the drawer, what a surprise.
