BACHELOR'S LANDLADY, by HYDE CLAYTON First Line: The lord employed a quaint disguise Last Line: Porting a luscious lemon pie!!! Subject(s): Landlords & Tenants | ||||||||
The Lord employed a quaint disguise To clothe a worth He deifies, When, after haunting us for weeks With that fat wench whose flat foot squeaks The tortured boards out on the floor Beneath the keyhole to our door; Whose heartless, calloused, upturned hand Repeats its ornery demand For rent; whose curt, concise replies To all our fragile, whitened lies About the burn, the noise, the scratch, Are always victor in the match -- This round misprison of His way He sent to our lean flat today -- God only knows the reason why -- Porting a luscious lemon pie!!! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VACATING AN APARTMENT by AGHA SHAHID ALI BALLAD OF THE LANDLORD by JAMES LANGSTON HUGHES THE LANDLADY IN BANGKOK by KAREN SWENSON THE LAST LANDLORD by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND: 1.
