Floor Lamp




I am a floor lamp
And I have seen many things
In my corner of the room
As the walls awfully sing


The walls don’t have ears
Like most people seem to think
For if they had those ears, they say
The walls would never sing!


I have those ears the walls do not
And nose and eyes and tongue
I hear and smell and taste and see
Oh sometime I do pity me!


For unlike those singing walls
I suffer silently under you
Boy you are a messy one!
I’m ashamed, why aren’t you?


You curse me when my light burns out
And when I do not work
You scream and yell, oh what a fuss!
I think your neighbors heard!


So what if my light burns out
Or my chain won’t seem to work
Be thankful that I’m here at all
For don’t you fear the dark?


I am a floor lamp
Watch me blow a bulb!
