Out house

In our garden

we have an old outhouse

It is as old as the house,

but years of rain and snow

has made the roof heavy to carry.

The wood is rotten and soft

the tiles are broken

There was an outdoor toilet in the out house

On the walls there is written messages from the past:

"7/5-58 I love Eric"

If you ever have met an old house like this

you will know that these buildings has souls

In the walls they have stories about

people and times

Our out house has an old and tired soul

It is kneeling of old age

and could bring danger if it fell

The decision has been made
The old outhouse is going down on wednesday
The door is closed for the last time
and it's not without sadness!

1847

I've found out that:

The first solide and edible piece of chocolate was made by J S Fry in 1847

The seventh asteroid discovered was 7 Iris, discovered in 1847

Thomas Alva Edison(the inventor of the lightbulb amongst other splendid devices) was born in 1847

The first postal stamp was issued in the United Stated in 1847

The Vegetarian Society was formed in The UK in 1847

And last but not least

Our house was built in 1847

It's not a posh house but

What an old distinguished home we have!
