Madam and the Rent Man Summary
This poem is about a conversation between a woman and the agent who has come to collect rent for her landlord. The woman refuses to pay, saying that the sink is broken, the water isn't running, and the landlord hasn't done anything he promised. The agent says he is not pleased, and she says she isn't either, and that they therefore agree.
