Ceilings
The subject in question has sent me a reeling
It's a topic not written with ease
Why would Don ask me to write about ceilings?
Don't know, but will try hard to please
Floors, for a subject, would make much more sense
As floors we do constantly use
Writing about ceilings somehow seems dense
Don's subject just gives me the blues
A ceiling is found at the top of a room
In a house that is normally built
And can also be found at the top of a tomb
Where it helps us keep out all the silt
The ceiling is checked on by pilots in planes
When they're flying way up in the sky
When the ceiling is low, it often detains
Aircraft from flying too high
Michaelangelo climbed up to one
Painting his frescoes galore
His neck so hurt when finally done
Could paint on ceilings no more
To go on much further, with this ceiling nonsense
Would not be true to my feelings
I hope I've not caused my readers offense
By writing this thing I called Ceilings
