Ode to our Little Shed ....

We love you little metal shed.
You quench our modest needs.
We both are very modest folk and very easy to please.
Sitting in your tiny space, on our plastic seats.
Surrounded by lots of junk, with nowhere for our feet.
Your beer, wine, music and words, keeps up entertained.
With summer sun and summer storms, we shelter from the rain.
We love you little metal shed, and tho our time is brief.
You quench our modest needs.
For we are very modest folk, and very easy to please.
