My House

By: Robert Widmer

i’ve been to a whole lot of towns in my life

from monterey bay to atlanta

to find the dream house i’ve wanted so long

i don’t have to wait until santa



i’m fine with the house that i live in

i’d never move to another

i treat this house with extremely good care

as well as i’d treat a brother



my house has floors and ceilings

my house has walls and tables

my house even has a chimney

like other ones in fables



my house makes me feel at home like no other i’ve been

to before

a basement, pantry, attic, and the first and second floor

and all the homely furnishings all other ones should use

this house, above all others, is the only one I choose



you may ask why this house is important

well, I decorated it, you see

i put things in here i’ve collected so far

that are most appealing to me
