In the village square
Sits a cozy home
It’s in disrepair
And it sits alone
The fence half painted
The shingles ruffled
Windows dirt tinted
The carport stuffed full
Most who see it scoff
“If the owners leave
We’ll be better off”
But they would bereave
If only they tried
To get to know them
They’ve nothing to hide
Though their yard needs trimmed
If you did enter
They live happily
The whole theme centered
Around family
The husband works late
The wife works endless
If they have a date
The children enlist
But before they go
They need to be bathed
Even just cleaned though
They have a dirt rave
Clean’s second to fun
Life is way too short
To not run in sun
They build pillow forts
Construct block towers
Rescue princesses
Play outside for hours
And take recesses
Fridays are “Fun Days”
Summer’s for drive-in’s
Warm days run relays
Public pools, dive in
In the village square
Sits a cozy home
The home’s full of care
You’re never alone
