For Sale

For Sale

This house is starvin’ for

a new family

and a husband who has the smarts

about children growing

tall and strong no matter what’s

in the wind --

with a wife who knows her man

is safe, on his way home

from the sea,

where tenderness matches any

pain and caring spirits put

nasty to shame, ‘cause he’s a believer

in the good Book, and all its Truths.
