I am your shower.
I wake bright and early every morning,
Except on weekends
When I sleep until later.
Sometimes,
Just sometimes,
When I’m lucky,
You let me sleep all day;
But that’s not often.
Because you being so busy
And so eager for your day,
You wake me.
You turn my knobs,
And scarcely leave me time to stretch my pipes
And loosen my plumbing
Before you stand under my spray,
So icy it’s numbing,
Cursing me as I warm up too late,
Though it’s you who expected too much, too soon.
The boiler’s fault,
Blame him you buffoon.
My room is rather boring, I must say;
Rather sterile,
White tiles on walls and grey on floor
And only a chrome hook
To serve me for a bed.
Would it hurt so much to get a rug?
Or to light some candles in here?
Or to replace that bloody awful picture on the wall?
Would it take much effort,
To get a rubber ducky to befriend?
Or to get rid of the spider that lives in the sink?
Of course it wouldn’t
Well, that’s what I think.
But being your shower
You wouldn’t notice my feelings,
No matter how much I weep for you.

Like the piece and the proper grammer and such was used. However it almost takes away from it with every line beginning with a capital letter. Perhaps only capitalize the start of each sentence or thought?

I'm funny about that... I always capitalise the first word of a line, even if it's mid sentence... I just prefer how it looks. Read aloud it makes no difference anyway, so I'm not inclined to take your advice I'm afraid. Thank you anyway.
