A long time ago
Danny offered me something
I just could not say NO
It was a fine house
With all the trimmings
It was a chance for me
Like New Beginnings
I loved this house
…But the neighbors
Were awful people
Real true haters
They broke out windows
They tagged my sidewalk
They burgled my backyard
They shoved debris in my frontdoor
They exposed my kitchen
And threw dung all over the roof
And exterior of my house
They blockaded my house
So no friends could visit
So no family could visit
But the house stood anyway…
Brick houses ALWAYS do
The house of Danny where he let me stay
I told him I would pay all the bills
At these words, Danny lit up
He was totally thrilled!
This is the house of Danny
The house where I live
I have cared for it
Everyday, I tend to it
I pay all the bills
I make the repairs
Even with the damage on the left side of the stairs
I have some repairmen and maintenance men too
They have destroyed stuff and stole things too
I have some contractors and none of them I trust
They care about money, they do NOT give a damn about us
The home owners
The home caretakers
The home itself
Where we eat, sleep, cry, laugh and dream
Where we reside until the next thing…
I want to take a flight and stay a bit out of town
In a nice hotel way above ground
Someplace I can sit and just be still
Go to a resort, I think I will…
Danny and I are the best of friends
In his house is hard but I have made some ends
Keeping house is work
It is not a joke
The maintenance never ends
No joke it is
Friends and family will steal
Out of your house
Neighbors will destroy things
Even your spouse
The main thing I have learned
From the House of Danny
Is maintenance is far better than repairs
Especially to your spouse!
The house of Danny is all around me
The house of Danny is what everyone can see
I am in here, piddling around
Lounging, reading a book
Or at the windows looking down
Down on you looking up at me
Do I see what you are doing?
Yes, I see…
But I turn my head periodically
Because I hate to see
You toil so for all your misdeeds
That IS why I have a staff
Who bring me the news to me
That IS why I have barriers
Between you and me
Fences, locks and security
Gates, guards and moats too
The River Styx you will not get through
Because I am afraid
Of all the dirt you do
You shock and disturb me
By the acts you do
I look in your heart to see the truth
It saddens me and it makes me grieve
The horrors that you do, I can not believe
But what has been done
Can not be undone
Every yin has a yang
My daughters and sons
Suffer gracefully
Live humbly
Maintain each day
Never lose your heart or your faith
Here what I say
For if you are stubborn
And set in YOUR way
You choose in addiction
And despair to play…
When the robbers come to take you away
It is notated and reported
As I sit on my bidet
If you won’t listen
And take care of YOUR house
What more intellect can I say?
To Danny, I am grateful
I thank HIM each and every day!

Thank you for your comment. I am so happy that it encouraged you so much. God bless and keep you…
Wonderfully put Choleta. Finding contentment in which ever stage of life we are in can combat the urge people have…
I have five grandchildren. I pray the same thing, as you do my dear friend. A good life, a safe…
❤️
