The Bad House

This is not a great house
Now I stop and think
The neighbors on one side complain
The other neighbors stink

This is not a good house
The carpets need to go
And all the plants we plant out back
Take years and years to grow

This house is kinda bad, in fact,
Just the other day
The plumbing broke and swept
Our brand new sofa set away

This house is really awful
See? The termites ate the sill!
The walls are full of nasty mold
That costs a lot to kill

So now it’s time to buckle down
And get this place in shape
I’ll really put the effort in
And never take a break
I’ll call the crews and get the bids
I’ll buy some tools and wire
I’ll study law and building codes
And put out all the fires
I’ll make this house spectacular—
You’ll think you’re at the Louvre!

Y’know, this sounds like too much work
I think that I’ll just move.
