![]() Living at Heritage EstatesA Poem by Elton Camp![]() Don't you wish YOU could live here?![]() Living at Heritage Estates By Elton Camp Name, “Heritage Estates,” is a good pick For a residential area it could do the trick Dwellers in that place, who could blame For taking pride in such an excellent name A heritage is usually looked on with pride Estate is a swanky house in which to reside And its street is a single mile-long cul de sac If you enter, then turn around and come back The dwellings are on lots that are quite small Worker’s truck can’t pass between them at all But for big yards, people are no longer keen That sort of home density is very often seen At Heritage Estates, crime rate is very low It’s a place where very few burglars will go And pesky salesmen rarely go there to call They know they’d get almost no sales at all The architecture has a great consistency Slight differences in style is all you see Folks seem at a similar level of income To foolish extravagance none succumb On both sides of the wide street are spied Trailers, mostly single, a few double-wide Drying clothes are hung on a line out back Garbage cans out front, none of them lack Many windows are both cracked and dirty Girls sitting on the porches are quite flirty “Heritage Estates” for a trailer park is a joke For, such a false image that name does evoke
