Knobbed or handled
Flat or paneled
Revolving, swinging,
Always bringing
Something through them
Windstorm blew them.
Jeepers, creepers
Socked your peepers.
Big ole bruiser
(Snoozer, loser)
Smash your nose
And whomp your toes
On sneaky wood
Or safety steel,
Shatter glass- how does THAT feel?
Kicking, ramming,
Sticking jamming
In your face or
Finger slamming.
Attic, basement,
Heart or car,
We live with doors,
Shut... or ajar
Front or back - some
Storm or screening.
New and tall or
Old and leaning
French doors, Dutch doors
Touch we must doors
Open, closed ones
Peep-eyed hole ones
Knock- knock- knock
I hear them shout:
Cosmetic Lady, Cookie scout
Can't get away
(I'm on their route)
Welcome Pizza,
Yippee, Post!
Some long days you'll
Host the most of
Rapping, tapping
Always more...
Defending, tending,
Never ending
Witness stalker
Vacuum hawker
Insurance vender
Fed-x sender
Neighbors borrow
Back tomorrow
Constant smack upon its face,
Entrance has an airtight case.
Go away, return, admit?
Don't fret, piano, you WILL fit!
Dog, then cat go,
Oops, they meant, " No"
Back to square one
In and out run
(This is such fun)
Stand and chat
On welcome mat
With girls or guys
(Now, enter flies)
Life in doordom
Has no boredom
But please take care
You're sure just where
The path of choice
Let's you rejoice
To be admitted, NOT
Outwitted!
There's the church,
There's the steeple
Shut the doors
There ARE no people.
Flooding, blooding
Gnashing teeth
Down and dirty underneath or over
Flowing transom high
A cry for why
We're cold, not bold
Oh save us from the lie we're sold
We occupy, but dread to die.
Either way, we cannot hide
By constant napping,
Ignoring tapping...
That wolf in veil
With pounding nail
Kicks at hinges
Burns and singes
Portal breakdown
Mortal shakedown
Mocks you, shocks you
Passage blocks you
Disguise so crafty,
Sly and drafty,
Tread on his head
You-turn instead,
To narrow gate
Before too late.
Don't doubt, just SHOUT,
" Escape, Get out,"
There is a way
Paved for the saved
It's not so hard:
Cross- walking guard
At threshold gold
Admits the fold.
Price of admission?
OUR CONTRITION.
No Master key
Unbolts or breeches,
Teaches, preaches or impeaches.
He stands and waits, He will abide
The door is locked, but on OUR side.
