The Conversion - the Kitchen cometh!

On hearing noise out in the street
Through wisteria leaves I peep
A large white van is parked outside
With both its rear doors open wide ...

New fridge and cooker neatly packed
Stand on the cobbles, soon unwrapped.
Two porters heave them into place
A clever fit – it's a small space.

Water and sewer pipes are laid;
Some final touches to be made
Before the house becomes a home
With electricity and phone.

Despite the heat, all skylights shut
Umbilical cord not cut ...
With frequent movement to and fro
The new incumbent soon will show!
