Oh, heck, I'm being stripped again
This new lot seem quite deranged!
Why can't they move in quietly
Without the need to change?
They'll size me, analyse me,
Slide a sliver of cement
Pop a lid and grab some brushes
Charge with purposeful intent
What ruddy colour will they choose?
Shall I end a sorry sight ?
Princess pink or football blue?
A silent wall hermaphrodite!
Or will they go the whole hog
And repaper me again?
I'd quite like giant flowers
In that look of misty rain.
Or will they cheapen me with basic?
Anaglypta? Wooden chips?
I demand a roll that bounces back
When you lift your fingertips!!
Yet, for decorative fulfillment
Frames refreshed in all the rooms
I'll inhale, seep up, in every pore
Till I'm high on glossy fumes
Once I'm dry, they'll likely hang me
With the tackiest of stuff
Or trust to me, a huge TV
Till the rawlplugs' have had enough
Gee, I feel so awfully helpless
The 3 piece suite is facing me
I'll be gawped at for the next ,blah, years
So I pray - be kind to me!

A silent wall hermaphrodite!
Magical phrase! LOL
smiles. nice using the perspective of the wall...oh i imagine they feel completely used, being forced change to the whim of each person...
Great fun, and so true what we do to poor walls, I love the pov taken, and like jinksy, love the line -A silent wall hermaphrodite!

Lena,
Ah, if walls could talk. Could we stand the tales they'd tell?
rel
Got me thinking about another rip to the walls, now! That should make for a good bicker later on....lol ♥
Brilliant stuff - never considered the rooms point of view!
Anna :o]
Thanks for the giggle this morning! I love the phrase "a silent wall hermaphrodite!"
like your style...you use natural language
The wall would hate me. I like to paint and hang things upon it.
Very clever take, Lena. : )
Lovely rhyming! Lovely anthropomorphism of a romm.

Trellissimo - thank you. I needed a trip to the dictionary however *blush*
Now this reminded me like something out fo Alice in Wonderland - wonderful Magpie! :-)
What a lovely way to describe the anguish of a silent wall!
I loved it!
Oh, my! So that's what my walls have been thinking all these years!
Nicholas - I often play in Lena-Land, too!
Erratic - I do love giving (cemented) things a complex...lol
Janice - thank goodness they CAN'T talk...!!
At last someone speaking up for the walls! And so eloquently too.
I have a rule. (Broken in cases of grot or decay) Live in a house for a year before changing anything. Give it time to present its case.
