(If Your Lucky)
With a motor to work it, to raise you up higher.
A journey to heaven? Perhaps to a star?
Yu won't be that lucky, it don't go that far.
The tardis? Or star trek? Or a strange U.F.O?
No, it's only the list, in the basment below.
There's A butoon to push, then a long patient wait.
(did you miss that "not working" sign, there by the gate?)
No.seven is faulty, No.three is a rest.
If it's downstairs your wanting, the staircase is best.
Don't kick it, cajoule it, and don't lose your cool.
For if someone should see you, they'd think "what a fool".
Cursing a lift shaft when nothing is there.
Cos down in the basement they are tearing thier hair.
Spreading the lift parts all over the floor.
Disconnecting the cables, unjammig the door.
For somebody broke it, ill treated, abused it.
Jammed it wide open, and blow me the fused it.
So just use your noddle when you step inside.
Don't play with the buttons, And you'll get you ride.
E.H. White
