These two houses stand side by side. They are not good neighbors, so let’s listen in on their fight.
–––
2 Houses
Side by Side,
One of Them Jeered
The Other Cried.
“I’ve got 2 Stories
and, you Only 1.
A Full Basement
Beneath Me while
You, you have None.”
What A Mean Old House
To Make this Little House Cry.
You’re A bad Old House
And, I Hope that You Fry.
May The Firemen Giggle
As you Go Up in Flames
And, the Insurance Folk say
“That house ain’t Worth the Claim”
So,Be Nice to Those Smaller
And Weaker than You.
For There is Always
Someone, or Something, Bigger and Badder than You.
