In the land someone forgot
I found my Camelot
On a cal-de- sac on a corner lot
In a tree filled plot.
It's my beauty spot.
Probably to a lot
It doesn't look all that hot
Even with blooming forget me nots.
This place has oak trees that have over shot
The driveway some what.
I am thankful there is no dry rot
In the place I bought.
I will plant apricot
And kumquat
Trees in the back of my lot.
The coyotes, eagles, owls, boars, hawks, 
Turkeys, and so much more all come for
A visit to the land someone forgot
That I bought.
It's no wonder this place has my heart.
Who would of thought?
This baseball diamond was what I sought.
