Little Holes

The crack in the fence. The rip in the curtain, Moaning floorboards, freezing and damaged, old carpet, full of gossip, tea, and coffee, Coffee table, new to the area. Fireplace, big mouth nothing to say Big couch, old and wrinkled Tall shelf, giant but thin . The hole in the garage, Large car, fancy and electric, Plug in the wall, dirty and unused , Toy car, broken and hated , Little barbie doll, cracked and colorless , Box of yarn, dusty, ignored . The peep in the letter box , Christmas card, lost and ignored, Pen-pal assignment, new but ripped, Tax overdue note, hopeless and damp, Little spider, cold and hungry.
