It has all the features they want plus some they didn''t expect.

They Found Their Dream House

 

By Elton Camp

 

A large family home Joe and Sue required

With a quick sale as their lease had expired

 

A fixer-upper, they agreed, would have to do

So limited resources made the choices few

 

With the realtor they had spent a whole week

As the house of their dreams they did seek

 

“I know that what we want is hard,” Joe said

The agent, with a wry smile, nodded his head

 

“There’s a really large place here on my list

And on a quick sale the owners firmly insist.”

 

“It has all of the features that you say you need

But it’s been empty a while and gone to seed.”

 

“About this place, someone actually wrote a book

It’s getting dark, but we can go and take a look.”

 

“And your anxiety about price I can sure relieve.

It’s set so far below appraisal you won’t believe.”

 

So that is how Joe and Sue finally came to own

A house priced low, though large & well-known

 

Finding such a bargain surely gave them a thrill

Since prices are usually quite high in Amityville
