Oh, to be Close to You

A hinge had a quarrel with the door. What’s your beef?
I do all of the work, while you get caressed
By the lovely woman. She pushes me around,
Responded the door. Yeah, well, replied the hinge,
You can look both ways at once into two locked rooms,
And all I can do is touch my feet to my nose.
Maybe you’re right, the door said. Perhaps we can switch?
So the door became the hinge and vice versa.
It remained that way until the woman
Called in a carpenter with crossed eyes
To put in a pocket door, which sexually excited the wall.
