or so the old adage goes,
but how in these times can he buy one?
'Tis a problem which (everyone knows)
depends on the state of the country,
and the pennies in his piggy bank.
More often than not it's too empty...
like his car with a petrol-less tank.
His castle, perforce, remains up in the air...
Good Luck to anyone living up there!
The foundation's dodgy on cloud number nine,
best live in a sty with the rest of the swine!
Blame JINKSY for tempting me again this week! And Ive just discovered the same subject fits ALICIA's Maffick Monday - who cares if it's Thursday?!
An Englishman's castle indeed! It is a warmly witty poem, I must compliment you.
ReplyDeleteWho are you calling swine, Caddoc? I shall have to enlist Ada's help in chastising you for that jibe, if you're not careful...

ReplyDeleteI've often said my house is a pig-sty;-)
ReplyDeleteCad - I thought you had a nice little shed to live in, amongst the bags of compost and bean sprouts.
