Poetry: Redecorating

by B.W. Harold

Created on: April 08, 2009   Last Updated: May 19, 2012

We're on our way to redecorate the den.

We'll see if we have the fight over light fixtures again.

Sigh No, No that color couldn't be duller.

Why don't we try this shade of red?

What do you mean it looks low-grade?

It's the latest style in all the magazines.

Let's just add it to the maybe pile.

Of course I value your opinion.

But you know beige is forbidden.


Sheers or brocade?

No one could see us dear.

Oh those will make it too dark, well I guess it would help hide my stretch marks.

Ah, you're too kind, you know love is blind.


On to carpet, no shag, it made that old van of yours look drab.

That Berber is a lovely tan, what? Well it's better than that shade of tan.

They're not the same!


Don't roll your eyes at me, you don't have to agree.

I suppose we could settle on a mossy green.
