I recall the first time we met
I was looking for a place to rent
In the classified was your Guest House
A room is available it said
With an attached bathroom
Suitable for single and lonely men
But no hanky panky will be allowed
We are not that liberal a crowd
Intrigued I applied
To get away from mouldy food
Stolen underwear and a shared den
Be here at six came the reply
I stood under a broken fan
Wondering should I knock or ring
You opened the door and I knew it then
That ad was heaven sent.

Continuing with the A to Z challenge but today I am combining it with the Friday Fictioneers.
Today it is 'G' for 'Guest House Blues'.
My challenge for April is to write poetry. My A to Z entries can be navigated to from this page - A2Z, I will be very pleased if you managed to take some time out to read and comments on the poems.
