The House In Faded Yellow

The house in faded yellow 
Oh it looks so mellow 
A pool besides though shallow 
Bathing is one lonely sparrow 

Splendid wild garden all over 
Arroyo, sage, crimson clover 
Please Mr Bus man pull over 
Before this scene is over 

Just as I run outta luck 
Out darts a daring buck 
Right in front of a truck 
Oh, that had to suck!
