They Found Their Dream House

They Found Their Dream House By Elton Camp A large family home Joe and Sue required With a quick sale as their lease had expired A fixer-upper, they agreed, would have to do So limited resources made the choices few With the realtor they had spent a whole week As the house of their dreams they did seek “I know that what we want is hard,” Joe said The agent, with a wry smile, nodded his head “There’s a really large place here on my list And on a quick sale the owners firmly insist.” “It has all of the features that you say you need But it’s been empty a while and gone to seed.” “About this place, someone actually wrote a book It’s getting dark, but we can go and take a look.” “And your anxiety about price I can sure relieve. It’s set so far below appraisal you won’t believe.” So that is how Joe and Sue finally came to own A house priced low, though large & well-known Finding such a bargain surely gave them a thrill Since prices are usually quite high in Amityville
