EMBOURGEOISEMENT
On a preliminary quest for higher-living-
through diffi-cult-to-define and anxi-ety-ridden days
his striving
definitely and wholeheartedly
finally moved-him-on-up.
From self-pity to self-realization,
his self-esteem flourished unselfishly out-of-control.
His life went from impossible
to I'm Possible!
From nowhere to now-here.
Took a whole lot of trying
just to get up that hill-
Seldom-understood and always tongue-tied,
he dumped his soon-to-be-forgotten
rust-bucket, Beetle-Bugster at the end-of-the-road
defying all modern-art jargon
of twisting and sledge-hammering
his metal in exchange for his very own
abode!

Moving on up and up-
So departing this ever-mysterious court-yard-garden of lost
metal-art
he bought his first
Mass-produced metal-house
that long-ago was all-the-rage
and well-being for those
of a younger-tender-age
and called it his
Dream-House!

One man's rusty metal is another man's trusty steed of a house.

Perfect quote from Thoreau. Good work. :-)
Wow, awesome. Loved reading your post.
I can't believe how many women have had this metal dollhouse the cheaper alternative to the old fashioned dollhouses made just like the real house they were in. Kind of like those in-law houses in backyards for real. Nice write Karen have a good week.
Great fun, Karen! People should pay more attention to what Thoreau said. History keeps proving him right.
