Charla's Door

Now Charla has a house                You've turned the doornob With an interesting door              Both left and right  Once you are within                   But this silly door Maybe there forevermore.              Is stuck very tight.  So plan for a time                    You'll look the door over  When driving about                    Take a step back  To visit her place                    Wondering to yourself So you can find out.                  What do I lack? Walk up to the door                   You'll try once again  And give it a knock                   Pulling very hard You will find out later               Soon become frustrated  She doesn't use the lock.             Call Charla from the yard. Opening the door easily               Now opening a door With a smile on her face              Has always been a cinch She'll invite you within              But this crazy thing And show you her place.               Will not budge an inch.  There will come a time                Charla to the rescue When you have to leave                She knows the trick Not knowing the experience            To open it easily You will soon receive.                Without even a kick.  When it is time to go                 So after this experience And you say good-by                   You can now see The door won't open                   Why Charla has no need  And you wonder why?                   For using the key.

Additional Notes:
The above poem was written from my actual experience at a lady's house(Charla) in Mission Viejo in So. Calif. in 1991. As I was leaving the house she was already in the back yard necessitating my calling to her to help me open this silly front door.
