A House vs a Home: A not quite parody of Green Eggs And Ham.
That home of ours,
That home of ours,
I really like that home of ours!
Would you like a new house of yours?
No, I would not
Nore-of-Yore.
It would make me feel quite sour
To move from a home like ours.
Would you like to live
Here or there?
I don’t want to live far or near
I am happy just right here.
No I do not want to move
So go out the door
Nore-of-Yore.
Would you like this house?
I will give you a pet mouse!
No Mr. Nore-of-Yore
I am happy where I am,
Home is where I can be calm again.
Well then follow me
And don’t forget your family!
Come live in Lethbridge; Its not too far.
You can get there in your car!
Now we live in Lethbridge,
Yes we do
And my meaning of home
Is what is true!
So a home is a building, yes?
No my tiny little friend but good guess,
But a home is where I come to rest.
My home is where my family
Can play games peacefully.
A home is happy
A home is calm
A home is full of love
My home is where I belong.
I do not care if I move here or there
Home is with those I love
And those people go with me anywhere.
