The Basement

This Basement is quite old

You see

There’s dust and mold

And some debris

The room is very cluttered

And the windows

Always shuttered

The books

From the bookshelves

Cover the floor

So much so

You can’t see it anymore

There are toys

From boys

And clothes galore

But what is it here for

The clothes are ripping

At the seams

The books are

Losing their binding

The toys

From boys

Can’t be ignored

As they lie across

The covered floor

There’s a doll as big as a man

Looking at it makes me bored

But wait

Did I just hear a snore
