Notes About The Poem

The Best House Built Ever

I built my house from the bottom to top,
By myself when I was alone.
I built it using all my own expertise, 
And I installed a grand type of throne.

Stairs are perfect, the windows have style,
And the roof is all strong and robust.
And the walls around the entire construction,
Are bricked tight so there’ll never be rust.

I spent all day building my beautiful house,
And now I’m all bronzed up and tanned.
Soon the tides coming in, goodbye to my dream, 
My beautiful castle house made out of sand.
