*Spare Room 2 Let*

I always wondered where

the term, room to let

came from

Everyone knows

It means a room to rent

So, why the to let?

Sounds like Toilet

When you say it out load

To let you do as You Please?

Behind closed door?

Or let you have a room?

Or perhaps let you wonder

What it is your are renting?

Who Knows? I'd like to

Mine is always piled

whith things I can't find a place for

And most likely

should have tossed long ago

Skates I never use

But they fit

TVs that no longer

receive a signal from UHF

but they are perfectly good

maybe as monitors for games

Or the DVDs

We seen all a million times

So, maybe it means

To Let You

Stack your crap

in place of mine?

To Let You

Do things you wouldn't

Do anywhere else?

Well, I've spent three days

Clearing my stuff out

So You Can Pile

Your Stuff In

Room To Let
