A long time ago,

I once was very sad,

I lived in the city.

Things weren’t all that bad.

But I wanted an old house,

In a small town.

So my girl said to me,

“Let’s drive around.”

We found an old neighborhood,

And did not drive all that far.

That one! I said,

And we stayed in the car.

It looked pretty good.

But the house was old,

And all made of wood.

I liked the design,

So, I did not care.

I did have some money,

To spend somewhere.

 And week after week,

We drove by to look,

And then one day,

I found out in a book,

The old house with a tree,

Was listed: ‘For Sale’.

So, I bought the old house,

And this is the tale.

So, If you have a yen,

For a house and a yard,

Remember to save.

And work very hard.

I just know,

That it worked out for me.

And that’s how I got,

My House with a Tree.
