My Peculiar House

My house is not normal.
Actually it's quite strange!
If I tell you how it is
you'll see it's quite deranged.

Let me start you with the creatures and their oh so-soft fur,
and then to the old pictures
of Lady Di in her pink skirts!

And now onto the curious clothes that live in all our draws,
if you saw what grandma wears for nickers
it would be against the law!

Mum's cooking isn't too bad
it's actually quite good!
That is if you count rotting vegetables and roast fingers as our food!

Well that's at least what I imagine as I wake for each new day.
I know it isn't true
so I'll call another day.
