Painting The Well House Red

My new house has an outbuilding of sorts,

A purely ornamental one, that is.

My father's on a visit and resorts

To home improvement projects here for his

Amusement since I still do not subscribe

To satellite or to cable TV.

To these two facts one eas'ly may ascribe

Our pastime for the day, which chanced to be

To paint the fake well house that's on my lawn!

I've often wondered as I look at it

What was the thought process that chanced to spawn

The thing. "What this yard needs to be legit

Is a fake well house right there, in the grass,

So mowing round it's a pain in the ass."
