House For Sale

An open invitation to serious realtors...I mean, readers

House For Sale

We need a place called home

We are in the market for surreal

Real estate beyond the pale

Made of corrugated cardboard boxes

Flip top or not in magic dust

We want food for termites

Something in wood with a bite

By a lake with windows open

To suggestions if not too late

We require walls worth climbing

Views overlooking nothing

A place to call our own

A phone to call a house a home

Give us something to reflect on

Mirrors in touch with lost souls

The lake must have turtles

That roll off logs in emergencies

Build us an outhouse to specifications

As required by law as needs arise

An amenity we can not live without

Turned inside out for our protection

We have nothing to hide from nature

As long as it comes with toilet paper

Trees must be planted roots first

Come with trunks and branches

Must never walk around unattended

Good homes and trees should be built to last

On solid grounds landscapes never escape

Make us living rooms because dead ones won't do

Homes need mothers, plenty of mothers

Twenty two should do but make them roofers

We want rocking chairs on linoleum floors

And chimneys that start at the top then stop

We need a house right now!

If not we will go somewhere else

A forest, a beach, your house for sure

We are clearly motivated

Find us a house for sale

Preferably one already built

We will bring ourselves if needed

We aim to please so start without us

If you give us the key we will never leave

If to strangers we will never get in

The house should be move in ready

It should be haunted and clean

We would expect nothing less

Once bought from the very best

ahahah buyer beware in the big time Earl! got a great hoot and a smile from this:
"Twenty two should do but make them roofers" ... make them roofers indeed :)))))))))))))))))))) such an accepting yet so very picky house hunters .. not sure if i were selling i should invite or lock out ... lots of laughs ...especially if anyone has worked with realtors in any way what-so-ever ... home investment is one of the biggest we make in life ..just under life and limb ... fun read ... great imaginative imaging .. totally relatable for me my friend!

Hi E, So glad you liked it. This one was like building a house. I had been constructing it for about a week or so. I whittled it down from 30 stanzas. I fear that I might have left out a few good items. I could not forget the outhouse. Where would we be without them? Have a great Sunday. Earl
