Lampy (or Limpy)

My lamp
has died
how sad
that is
has fallen
into a
heap
a droopy neck
can't stand
up straight
by itself

can't paint
without it
guess
will need
to buy
another
electrics still
work
just fine
a plastic
thingy snapped
how could
that
be
oh yeah
mass produced
in a foreign
country
where problems
always arise
and are
never fixed

well
it blew
up today
it's
really
screwed
or just
come
unscrewed
and it
will need
to be
replaced...

hello dear Fleur

Once again a brilliant write. Nice to see you are back in the swing. A few typos dear, 4th line, should it be- it instead of is, 2nd stanza, 5th line, buy instead of but. That's it, u must be tired or in a hurry. I feel sorry for your lamp and the fact that u need it to paint. Poor soul. Well I enjoyed your write very much, well done. Love from Lyz. XX
