Touring a Mansion

My husband and I love to visit 
Old mansions once home to the rich.
It’s cool to see wealthy folks’ manors,
With which most people wish they could switch.

I admire the woodwork and paintings,
The furniture and the decor,
Though it’s often too showy and fancy,
Since ornate’s far from me at my core.

So I guess it won’t seem too surprising
That the rooms where at home I could feel
Are the quarters that house all the servants,
Which to me have the greatest appeal.
