The House

The House
The house protects me from the freezing cold It keeps me warm by breathing its warm air on me In return it asks clean windows and polished floors They say a man’s home is his castle, but it’s really the woman Who rips up the old carpet, who remodels the kitchen and puts prose on the kitchen wall that says: “For Health and family, for good food and fun, For staying young while growing old We give Thee thanks.”
