Future Prediction For Home Buyers

Forget about mortgage or rent.
These days with our paychecks fast spent,
In the future I see 
The hot question will be. . . 
How much for one BIG sturdy tent?

This is what the economic crisis is coming to, Andrea. Instead of "Better Homes and Gardens," we may soon see a magazine called "Better Tents and Crop Patches." Congratulations on placing second! Love, Carolyn

What a beautiful sarcastic limerick you have sketched here my friend. Great write. A very well conceived imagination of the situation which is deteriorating every where in the world. My good wishes for your contest entry. And many thanks for starting reading Patradoot from the beginning. I will take up Vasava immediately after finishing Patradoot. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra.....Andrea Dietrich.
