House Hunting Two places to live Just two people Kids grown and gone Why All day Saturday Nine to five Nine houses East side west side All around the town Was it an accident The best was last No furniture to cloud The place spotless Window view delightful Sunlight slanting Garden flowers glorious We thought we’d be through Early Swim gear, towels and a blanket Thrown in the back seat And there we were Arms about one another Looking out the bedroom window The wooded valley below Ablaze with color Then a “Honey I think we’ve found it” kiss We got carried away… Four knees wobbly You tried – back to be To resume cool – look out again I was more for giving in Took your hands with mine Raised tem to the window frame As I poured kisses on your neck Then your ears and you gave in But as I released your hands you ran For the next few minutes Laughter bounced off the walls Until we fell In the deeply carpeted living room And hands helped hands The kissing very serious And we gave thanks All the curtains drawn Later, showered and dry Cuddled under the blanket Still giggling over new discoveries I found my only regret We hadn’t maximized The other eight houses… The first duty of love is to listen. |

Wilfred, I have only lived in 2 houses since we got married and I see now that I missed out on a lot of fun! Maybe next year? Loved this and super mind-pictures. ME |

I don't want a new house, but you sure made me want to just go look and maybe try out a house or two. Enjoyed!!!!!!! |

I was flipping channels - and saw a brief scene - in an otherwise uninteresting movie - and a simple narritive developed - I'm glad I struck a responsive chord ~ thank you |
