Listen to poem:

House To Let

"Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house; can you hear the whispering?" - Quote by Constance La France  

A house without a mouse or spouse
tends to babble on a bit, to itself,
whispering wanton murmurs,
meows and purrs,
as it hums and winds away 
the bore-some, dreary hours
waiting for someone, 
anyone, anything, 
or any being really, real or unreal,
to move back in,
baring mice
of course.
