House For Sale
We need a place called home
We are in the market for surreal
Real estate beyond the pale
Made of corrugated cardboard boxes
Flip top or not in magic dust
We want food for termites
Something in wood with a bite
By a lake with windows open
To suggestions if not too late
We require walls worth climbing
Views overlooking nothing
A place to call our own
A phone to call a house a home
Give us something to reflect on
Mirrors in touch with lost souls
The lake must have turtles
That roll off logs in emergencies
Build us an outhouse to specifications
As required by law as needs arise
An amenity we can not live without
Turned inside out for our protection
We have nothing to hide from nature
As long as it comes with toilet paper
Trees must be planted roots first
Come with trunks and branches
Must never walk around unattended
Good homes and trees should be built to last
On solid grounds landscapes never escape
Make us living rooms because dead ones won't do
Homes need mothers, plenty of mothers
Twenty two should do but make them roofers
We want rocking chairs on linoleum floors
And chimneys that start at the top then stop
We need a house right now!
If not we will go somewhere else
A forest, a beach, your house for sure
We are clearly motivated
Find us a house for sale
Preferably one already built
We will bring ourselves if needed
We aim to please so start without us
If you give us the key we will never leave
If to strangers we will never get in
The house should be move in ready
It should be haunted and clean
We would expect nothing less
Once bought from the very best
