Staircase

A staircase helps to take you higher
or further down if you so wish.
The upper floors can make you tire
of level six, eight, sevenish.

For higher buildings they invented
the elevator to decrease
the people’s pain who high up rented
a flat for tolerable lease.

A staircase that combines the ways
of function and enjoying craft
will seldom be found nowadays;
it’s not a strictly sober shaft.
