I love this door, and it’s for sale along with the rest of the house here in the Charente in France. Send me a message if you’d like to see what’s behind the door. #houseforsalefrance

Today’s poem is called ‘This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes’.
![This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes
This is one of those poems
without any rhymes,
the sort of thing you might read
in the Telegraph or Time[crossed out] Guardian.
For, as proper poets know,
rhyme’s deleterious
and only gets in the way
when you’re trying to be serious[crossed out] profound.
It’s childish and cloying,
simplistic and singsong
to bat rhymes back and forth
like some dull game of ping pong[crossed out] table tennis.
To the literary critic
it will cause great affront,
which will make you resent them
and think them a snob.
This is also one of those poems
which looks like it might go on to say something insightful
about the human condition
but then just kind of ends.

Today's funny word is the French “Pète-sec”.
A person who’s uptight and humorless, literally “dry-fart.”
