"Lots for sale." Lots -- of what? Lots of trouble, like as not. Lots of fuss with "equities," Titles, deeds, and lawyers' fees. Lots of talk with architects, -- Every man the job expects. Lots of tiffs with carpenters, Masons, plumbers, plasterers. Lots of unexpected bills, 'Little extras," -- bitter pills. Lots of city taxes due, -- Gas and water, sewer too. Lots of advertising then, Try, and try, and try again. Lots of folks with half a mind, And a dozen faults to find. Lots of worry, pains untold, Till the pesky thing is sold. Lots of fine experience, But of profit -- not five cents. "Lots for sale" -- and who will buy? Lots of people; no more I! |
