So my uncle and I have a challenge going on between us to wax poetic about mundane things so we can both strengthen our writing. So, here goes, on the first day of me doing this I am going to be dramatic about my dorm. Not all of these will be poems, in fact this will probably be the only one because I hate poems, but I hope you guys like them!
