Wood Rot: The Poet’s Friend

The evidence was clear

A small damp spot on the

Old door frame.

Damaged wood, 

Fibrous, spongy

Clearly no good.

What’s the thought?

New molding should

Be bought to replace

This nasty wood rot.

After all wood should

Be sturdy and strong

And this wood is not.



This bit of nonsense was inspired by a conversation with an author whose blog I follow. Her name is Ellen Hawley and her wonderful blog can be found at:

I don’t believe you’ll find anything concerning wood rot on her site though. Just lots of witty and insightful observations from an American living in Cornwall.

Peace, People.
