Short Term Lets

They didn’t say 

That everyone would leave 

But expect you to keep their rooms available 

No one said you are my eternal Air B and B. 

For nothing, for ever.  

But when they don’t come back.  

The downsizing begins 

The dream of the spare room 

Squashed but liveable 

The heart was on lease. 

Never freehold.  

No one reads the small print.
