Harry House

Harry House or We Wish Wives Harry house it just ain't no more Someone else is now at their door Each day when it did start to open With him not here started coping. Those that live there are nice to They will never be another you And dear wife who we do like so Watched your love grow and grow. Someday we may be together again Not quite sure and don't know when Our friendship will still last and last Harry house is all part of the past. Was last thing I had on my mind Great friends have been hard to find Next door neighbor is now my friend Who me off one day will soon send. Isn't that what whole world is all about? May be much love left with a little doubt Although lengths of our lives are waning We wish wives would quit complaining. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet Harry Truman had a Southern White House built for him in Key West, Florida. It was called the Harry House. Another Harry had a house here not meeting his specifications. He never moved in.

That was funny at the end about the wives complaining. It's nice you got a poem out of your friend considering leaving his house!

Harry is a building inspector himself and never moved into the house he was having being built for himself. Someone else just did. Jim Horn

Harry never moved into his house he was having built. My neighbor is thinking about selling his house so he can be closer to his grand kids. Jim Horn
