Finding a House

Finding a house,
is the most difficult thing.
You find what you like,
or you get nothing !

You want a bedroom,
with a shower attached,
a kitchen of your own,
and your budget matched.

You want it close
to the university,
and to be free,
from the noise of the city.

You want a supermarket
close to the place,
for all your daily needs
or just in case.

You also want a study,
that is quiet and calm,
so the noise of the city
can do you no harm.

You don't want to pay
the additional bills,
even if the flat
your criteria fulfils !

Now that's too much,
if you asked me I'd say.
Compromise, make a choice
and call it a day !

4 years and still looking, so totally relatable to me, I never thought someone would write a poem about it though . . . ; )
