Gingerbread Cottage Choses Tenants

gingerbread cottage was waiting for the right family
their kids were too loud
there was no discipline
this was not happening
she showed them her meanness
this family ran out screaming

why are you so picky? realtor asked after they had left
next couple was too old, stodgy, set in their ways
she was irritated that they were still alive, let alone looking at houses
gave the wife chills up the back of her neck
I am never going to sell you! lamented the realtor

gingerbread finally found a couple she liked
she thought she could tolerate them
they were giggling and fun
unfortunately, they set a fire in her closet

Utterly delightful Caren. Realtors really do have their job cut out for them sometimes! So fun! Thanks for the giggle with your irrepressible wink at life! Blessings!

I pity all of them - I think it would be a dangerous job
