The House

The house was still in gleaming light
Within stood a man pale by fright
His breath short from long flight
His heart raced by this such sight

In those halls cold as stone
Stood one man all alone

The floors creaked
The roof leaked
The air had reeked
Through the house he peeked

In rooms so dark
He did remark
'I think I missed my mark!'

Then with the thought
As he ought
This rhyme has no plot!
