For Suzy, after
buying a new house in Medford.
The
effort that’s required to buy a house
is
daunting -- first amass a pile of cash,
a
bank loan, and the buy-in from your spouse,
then
if the market’s tight, go madly dash
to
open houses everywhere in town,
ignoring
the sage and sound advice --
“Buy
low” -- you bid high, but still get turned down
although
you bid above the asking price!
But
like a pinball bouncing from home to home
that
strikes the bonus, you win a jewel
with
kitchens and bathrooms of burnished chrome,
a
landscaped yard, and an backyard pool,
and
there you can float about in style
and
make all the effort you’ve spent worthwhile.
