House on the Corner


no association lives in this neighborhood

but there are rules by which to abide...

no clothesline in the back yard,

no fence taller than 4 feet,

no side building unless it is attached,

no large trailers in driveways,

no children allowed in nearby yards,

no cars parked in the street...

we have these rules where we live

and none can be broken or waived,

even if you know the right people;

the man who lives in the house

on the corner enforces these rules

and it is from him if there is an

exception to be granted...  but, it is

also this man who lives in the house

on the corner who does not follow

these rules, setting a bad example...

Fifty one years ago, these rules were

set into motion and must be renewed

every ten...  but, the man who lives

in the house on the corner has failed

to renew them so now all the residents

who live in this community are free

to do whatever they damn well please.
