New Homes for Everybody!!

Don't own your own home??

Need a play area for the kids??

Can't afford a camper??

Don't have a lot of money??

Well Bunkie.... I got just the idea for you....

Jean B....

I WANT one! Bette, did you ever get your play house?

Jean B....

And then thee'a Alexis.... (of whom we haven't heard anything
recently... hint, hint)

Lovely idea, I'd already planned to sell my bricks & mortar for a
mobile home, when I retire.
The Pedlar's Caravan

I wish I lived in a caravan,
With a horse to drive, like a pedlar-man!
Where he comes from nobody knows,
Nor where he goes to, but on he goes.
His caravan has windows two,
With a chimney of tin that the smoke comes through,
He has a wife, and a baby brown,
And they go riding from town to town.
Chairs to mend and delf to sell --

Jean B....

egad. That collection of letters (thee'a) = "there's". How
on earth did I do THAT?!

He clashes the basins like a bell.
Tea-trays, baskets, ranged in order,
Plates, with the alphabet round the border.
The roads are brown, and the sea is green,
But his house is just like a bathing-machine.
The world is round, but he can ride,
Rumble, and splash to the other side.
With the pedlar-man I should like to roam,
And write a book when I come home.
All the people would read my book,
Just like the Travels of Captain Cook.

It's one of the many poems I remember loving from childhood, in the
days when people actually recited poems rather than just sitting in
front of a box - like I'm doing now ;)

Mikals11...

I don't recall the gents name but he used to do commericals and some TV....
His catch line was....
"Is that was bugging you bunkie" or "Is that whats bothering you bunkie"

Lou...

Yes.... you might be sitting in front of a box.... but you still recited the
poem.... and a good one it is.... With a book or recital you only reach
few.... It front of this box the world reads it....

verity...

True, & it is much better than the goggle box :)

Hey, those are cute! And reasonable prices too. Really nice for a
vacation home if you buy a lot somewhere.
