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.
