If a House Came with a Woman

If a house came with a woman,
We wouldn't want to buy;
We wouldn't want her, idle-
And always sitting by.

But if a house came with a fellow,
We'd put that guy to work;
To fix what he was able-
And consider him a perk.

    I'd take the house with a woman
    I'd teach her to clean, to cook, and sew
    All the while I would beguiled
    To make her love me so

    Women are rarely idle, and many men are jerks rather than perks - just jesting Patti, curious little write.

    Levitous and clever is this brief but enjoyable verse, Patti! You Rock! ~FjR~
