Your Dream Mansion

This is a dream coming true going across continent to the sun waking up every day to all this can't wait to get out there and done So need to get flight booked loads to do as well as pack case hands all sweating tummy churning but this is the life real ace Flights held up for hour late then arrive to hear taxi strike phone all around for a lift all I'm told get on your bike So eventually arrives at the address but I'm transfixed seeing nothing in sight just a piece of land no villa there looked at address my eyes were night Where is it now? it was lost note of address was not here was I tricked? was this big con? that night I shed many a tear So the dream had been dashed no dream villa was for me eventually came home feeling so down but learn well don't buy till you see (a story of the imagination, my character is moving to a foreign country and begins to search real estate listings online for a place to live.

It seems too good to be true. "I'm sure it IS too good to be true," says my character's sister, who warns your character of the foolishness of buying property, sight-unseen, over the Internet. But your character is already mentally decorating the villa...)

Nothing is always as it seems and you have to be extra careful purchasing anything over the internet... A good poem filled with wisdom on an interesting topic. Nice work, Gordon.
