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.
