ROUTE TO EVICTION

Landlady says our apartment smells,

A week left to clean where we dwell…

Seems to be

My unsanitary,

Showerless way I dwell!

–

We’ll have to throw stuff away,

Standard verdict so we’ll stay…

Find what smells

and out it goes,

Or wash the scent all away!

–

One hit follows another,

Publisher’s Clearinghouse didn’t bother

Nor have record

Of what she ordered,

We paid all that money and can’t recover?!

–

What we must do we must,

Or living arrangements go bust…

My downers I think

Caused most of our stink,

I pray we pass inspection next Friday…!  (Or else)
