Needs of an abandoned home
Order me a bucket of paint
And a quart of wood stain
Make my house look so nice
Some pink gingham curtains
Shades to pull keep out the bright sun
Rugs beds and furniture
Air conditioner and stove
Food in the pantry
Soup cereal flour
Coffee and sugar
That'll start us a home
Or I'll stay here alone
Sleep in the corner
Under some blankets from my cart
That I found by the road
Then I'll keep warm
If, until, when you come
.

ReplyDeleteHa
DeleteI put half a small cylinder of brown sugar in my latte but can't remember spooning granulated. AC we need even in winter on some days. Not last week.

I could make a home anywhere....and have done in the 40-odd moves i've made in my life. Smiles.
