My Slate Roof

Oh slate you have been in my life;
I see you every day.
You dwell on roofs of house and shop,
And keep the rain away.

You are a good old chum that's true,
You never let me down.
Inanimate friend within my life,
You never wear a frown.

But yes old chum when you get old,
You cause my heart to bleat.
You make such leaks within my house
and drench my home a treat!
