ODE TO HOUSE BUYERS

We put our house on the market
While leaves were on the trees
We managed to get a buyer
Who was very keen to please

Pretty pissed at the price
But oh! What the hell
Needs must I suppose
We really had to sell

That was in October
We hadn't changed the clocks
It was still considered summer
Kids still ran amok

Now we're in December
and the deal still isn't done
It's only been six weeks
But Christmas is to come

Till the money comes in
We haven't got a dime
Daughter's birthday Tuesday
It really is a crime

The bank are being awkward
They just aint playing ball
Will we use them next year?
Nah, not at all!

For now Christmas is on hold
Not a lot can be done
But it's getting very tight now
And it really isn't fun!

    It may not have two full baths
    or a "walk-in-closet" room;

    It may not

    When I'm there I know myself
    there is no poverty or wealth
    It is a place that glows inside
    I do not run to it nor hide

    Her aged face
    her wrinkled skin
    Veins in her hands
    A hard life she has..

    She smiled at me
    Fading glow but kind
    But her sadness

    FONDEST MEMORIES

    Fondest memories when I was very young.
    When we sat upon your knee
    and you sang my favorite songs.
    I still hear
