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
