How About a Flying Pig Theme
Dorothea always had a theme going
On the inside and the outside of her house
This quarter her theme was Candyland
She had spent gobs of money on it
We knew because we could hear the argument
Her husband was getting irritated, and his voice raised
We are the only people with a full-time builder!
That cannot be true, she argued, but I think it was.
My cousin was the full-time builder
He had made his living working exclusively for Dorthea
Better get another theme idea ready I told him on the phone.
We have not done flying pigs yet, he replied, and laughed.
I did not return the laughter
Because I am trying to sell my house
Living next to Candyland is difficult
Living next to flying pigs might be worse.
