Default Poem: Drawing a House

Can anyone remember a poem of mine called Drawing a House'?

It contained these lines;

And on the roof a chimney high
Where smoke goes doodling to the sky

I know I wrote it but I cant find it.

Jayne told you how to search for lost poems, John. Can you find her instructions?

Thank you very much both of you. I have entered it, with necessary emendations, for the latest Oldie Comp called 'The Window' which you will know about when Jayne gets round to posting it.

16 lines, you know.

Dammit, John! You mean Jayne gives you a head start? ("Only joking", Jayne.)
