A House Bought in Fear of His Wife
It was the nightfall of summer,
A man wanted to buy a house.
Just he knew it is a real comer,
Puts it in his own name Straus.
Mr. Straus wanted it very quick,
He wrote down the rent pricing.
Hope its low, or he won't buy it,
I want it low, it's all to my liking.
He needs this to become his own,
What do I need for an experience?
Just I wanted to call this my home,
For a house, needing a cleanliness.
He's happy to buy his first house,
Just couldn't wait to check inside.
He lives far away from his spouse,
Living here so if he needs to hide.
