Edie's En-suite Eyrie
Oh, Edie in your eyrie
Please spare a thought for those
Who keep you fed and watered
And buy and wash your clothes
While in your lofty bedroom
Your life is now complete
Showering is a pleasure with
Facilities en-suite
But down below looms turmoil
New bathroom’s on the way
Yet ‘til it is all fitted
There will be disarray
Washing’s not a problem
They could use kitchen sink
For even teeth a-brushing
But just a moment think
About those night-time visits
By Mum and Dad to loo
They now might have to climb your stairs
The onus is on you
To make them feel they’re welcome
So please your temper keep
You’re winning their most grateful thanks
Just losing peaceful sleep.
