I Write - Decade Edition - Roaring 20's

The Red Doors

The front door is not used in the winter.
The steps are too slick for Mr. Bates.
It is better to ease out the back door
It's not as showy.
His wife, God rest her soul,
Picked the front door colour.
It's bright red still glamourous
Despite the aging, weather beaten view.
