Today’s word is “quondam” ... former; onetime. (Dictionary.com)
Build
I’m looking at our failing deck,
The steps are wearing thin,
The railings splintered, hard to hold,
And shredded where the cat has been.
There is a plan for something new,
That will last for years and years,
The quondam thing will not be missed.
No eyes will fill with falling tears.
We’ll have to fit the flower pots,
In a brand new sunny home,
But that’s ok, as we will have
A place from which we will not roam.
