Given the Choice I Would

Oh-  given the choice I would-  restore it,
the derelict house in need of repair;
yes, I realize it is a big money pit,
     the ad-  a fixer upper if your dare!
     A grand facade once it had,
     now, it has tipped and slumped bad;
     it's towers and turrets sad,
                       but, after all it was built in 1893!
        If I had the cash,
          I'd fix that house in a flash;
             and soon 'cause the house is about to crash.
Oh, I see a wrap around porch in my mind,
a great entrance with wrought iron that shined;
to the fact that, the house is falling down- BLIND,
                     'cause, after all it was built in 1893!

I do so love the house, Constance, but I fear renovating it would lose its charm. Worth a go, though. I'd come and sleep in the loft. Congrats on your placement, and thanks for entering my humble contest. Viv x
