...never let him in

Red Brick House

 

Rain beats

          Incessantly,

On the roof of a

Red Brick House

Never getting in. 

Wind blows

          Incessantly,

Against the sides of a

Red Brick House

Never getting in.

The sun glares

          Incessantly,

On the curtains of a

Red Brick House

Never getting in.

But when a wolf pounds

Incessantly,

On the door of a

Red Brick House

The occupant, seeing only a sheep,

Opens the door,

And the wolf gets in.
