To the Landlords Lament

Master Keith was habitually late with the rent. When Gail gave him a 30 day notice, he begged for 60. For the last two weeks Master Keith failed to answer phone or door. Seems he was hiding out. He had good reason. He was last on the last months rent. This evening a set of house keys appeared under the frontdoor mat. The room was empty, in fact more than empty. Master Keith absconded with the microwave. Some might say being stiffed on the rent and a loss of property was a major bummer; I consider it getting off easy.
