The Visitor

Why do we have to stop talking about the rain last night ?

by any gauge a deluge on an epic scale

I do believe the car-park's washed away

Let's put the News on shall we ? see if it's still there

I wonder - did we fix the guttering ?

the damp in the back bedroom's getting worse

the funny smell - I think it might be mice

Perhaps the council did clear the drain

we should complain

What dear ? no I don't believe I did

see anything the like that you describe -

so big and wrinkled - and a sort of grey -

sit on our sofa as we watched the play

No dear - I can't explain the smear

and giant droppings on the Axminster
