Poem Artwork

Can’t get out, though not really can’t,

Have two TV’s & stereo to enjoy,

Computerized lifetime as well,

But I’m not complainin’ or can’t you tell…

 

34 feet long, by eight feet wide,

2 foot center hall,

It ain’t a house, but it is my home…

 

Warm I try to keep,

Though the old beast is built on the cheap,

Tis better than a box on a street,

Someday I will be in a real house,

And there I can in the warmth oversleep…

JOISEY ... Bought my ole trailer 14' X 45' - 5 years ago - Smartest thing I ever did!

now its 23 yrs. old & just PAID OFF last month - HALLELUJAH!

COMPARISON - I once owned a 3,000 SQ.Ft. Rancher on 2.16 Acres n' worked my buns off - mowing, raking, composting, shoveling, driving forever to n' fro - etc.

NOW - maintenance-free, no mortgage, no RE taxes, really cheap insurance, really small lot - I PAY others to mow!

2ND SMARTEST THING = Pellet Stove - monthly cost Est. about $125/mo. x 5 mos. = $750. for Whole Heating season - Propane was Over $1,200 - SAVINGS about $450 Plus - each & every season! Stove

Yea old buddy, I tell you compared to some of the places I lived in when I was single and down and out that motor home looks pretty luxurious to me...especially with a little vino and smoke to brighten or haze the images.

I get House Fever every winter about this time. The only way to beat it is to 'get on out there' and start taking nice long walks in the wood.

At least you have a home; better than being homeless and/or out on the street ...

(((HUGS)), much love, and continued prayers~

As always, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D

I have a house but there are times when I wish I had a motorhome instead. I am glad that you are out of the elements, Ed.
Take care,

A rare and rustic look at life, sounds cozy ... and I bet more than a few would trade in their mortgages for this "old beast ...built on the cheap"!

I've experienced many people living in Motor Homes in the past few years, many by intended choice...Home? House? all a matter of personal perspective...Love what is, will allow the space for dreams of something else to bloom. Your poem is showing a beautiful gratitude!
