PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Come to find out 

It was all just rats inside of it,

—The engine I mean—

And when we finally cleared them out

We found they really made a home in there

There were pictures of the kids,

Little rats on bikes and birthday parties

Little cakes and party hats,

There was some pretty nice furniture too

Real antiques, mid century modern

Definitely wonder where they bought’em

They really gummed up the works 

With all those Halloween costumes 

Those football trophies 

And those cozy sweaters,

I would regret not to mention

That they made that house a home

They made that engine purr

And left it with a little less tension

I parked the car out back

And waited for them to wander round,

Saw them settle in 

And smiled as they hunkered down
