Mushroomz.

Since we've moved into this house we have been trying to fix some little problems here and there.  One of the problems we noticed was a little dampness on the wall and ceiling in the kitchen but we didn't really think of it as a big deal.  But as the rainy weather is now coming in it has rapidly been getting worse.  It is now staining the wallpaper and ceiling a dark brown and yellow colour.

Just now I was making some noodles when something caught my eye.  There, growing from my ceiling, is a mushroom! It's brown and withering but it's there, hanging upside down on my ceiling.  Surely it must be a hallucinogenic magic mushroom because it's already saying fuck you gravity!




Obviously, it thought I couldn't see it watching me make noodles.  It was probably confused.  Why was I pouring water on this stringy spaghetti like food? Surely the wiggly food doesn't have the power of growth like a mighty plant or fungus does.  Okay, so you might think it''s strange for me to be personifying a mushroom.  Sure, it might look like a normal mushroom to you (Or as normal as a mushroom hanging from a ceiling can be) but this is how I personally see it:




I decided to let the mushroom live as it is clearly already withering.  Rather than kill it, I wrote a haiku.

Winter brings damp walls
A mushroom on my ceiling
How did you get there?

Live long and prosper, little mushroom.
