Accommodation 101

Cobwebs.

Dust.  A lot of dust.

Weeds—

In tufts and plumes,

To be honest, a forest.

Moss-covered steps.

Crumbling brickwork.

Peeling paint.

Mildewed and cracked walls.

Tattered, faded, fabric curtains,

Hanging by threads.

Overflowing letterbox.

Layers of rubbish,

Tins, bottles, wrappers, newspapers,

Enough to excite a legion

Of future archeologists,

Built up on the decaying verandah.

A stray cat, unruffled,

Looks through a taped-together window.

Sunlight flows in, filtering 

Through the filthy glass,

Adding the feeling of

A Gothic fantasy

To the premises.

In short—

A typical student house.
