old man who was too easy

There was an old man who disliked the world Anyway, he pretended it because he was soft. If a salesman was selling igloos, he would buy. So, to protect himself, he had to fence himself in. His wife always said, “he is a sucker for everyone”.’ His heart was so kind, people took advantage of it. She closed him off from the world after a while. Because he would go broke giving to others. An artist, she had a gift with concrete. She designed them a berm house with a look. A gruff, mean, nasty old man with a beard face. He dislikes the world, she motioned to her man. Salespeople ran off, fleeing for their lives. Most never knew they missed their easiest sale. Husband was content too, for they had money now. Keeping enough so they could retire comfortably.
