My house is naked!

My house is naked!

It's getting a new coat.

It's down to bare bricks,

We got a good quote.

They banged and they drilled,

Removing the old,

It won't take too long,

The builders, they told.

On goes the first layer,

Concrete, all grey,

Oh, so much dust,

It'll be worth it, they say.

The first one is done,

Now wait for it to dry.

Oh rain, go away!

The men they do cry.

Make us a cuppa,

Is said with a grin,

And also a biscuit?

To dunk down within?

They've gone for the day,

Now time for a tidy,

Dust, dirt be gone,

Til they come back on Friday!

Hopefully it will soon be done,

I'll drop you a line,

On how it is going,

If they're taking their time.

So until my next poem,

I'm going to wait,

Until it's all done,

And they're out of my gate!
