“Houses Have Bones Too” by Scott L. Bird

I had a realtor once
Who said houses have
Bones.
Some have good ones,
Some have bad ones.
I bought a house
Based on that and
I helped fill it up with
Kids.
The kids threw their toys
Around my cottage built
In 1942.
Their toys put dents in
The dents made by
The number of kids
Who filled this house
Before.
So patiently I asked my kids
How they would feel if
The house threw its toys at
Them.
They laughed when I said
The house would feel like
Tossing us out like
Cold, wet vomit
For breaking its
Bones.
