House Grouse

The roof has some leakage, The basement has some seepage.
The rug is worn out, The bath needs a new spout.
The dishwasher makes a humungous noise, The television has lost its voice.
The seeds need to be sowed, The lawn needs to be mowed.
The garage needs a new door, The kitchen needs a new floor.
Things aren’t smooth I must confess, Home, sweet home, is a total mess.
Dosage: Read aloud. Daily. ↺
