To Build or to Buy

Do it your way
Cavalier
Build your own home
Post and pier
Forgo the crystal
Chandelier
And ratchet up
Another gear

Juggle and jostle
Most unsteady
Contract work is
Never ready
Stressing out, those bills
You're dreading
While your wife picks out
The bedding

The rest of life
Derailed
Hit your finger
Holding nail
Fresh concrete then
Sleet and hail
This whole idea becomes
Your jail

The bank man makes sure you feel
The sting
He made you mortgage
Everything
Next time go with
Pre-existing
Choose a realtor, check out
The listings

Buy a home that's
Already there
Let the wind blow through
Your hair
Then sit back in your
Captain's chair
And wave your hands into
The Air
