speculative building

Looking for a building plot
in the country side 

Then I found an ideal spot
and got permission with a bribe


I built a stonking mansion
to show off all my dough
down a quite muddy road
where all wild things grow


the spot was idyllic
secluded and well hidden
next to a funny spot
the farmer called a midden


the farmer seems to have woken
from his winter spell
and now uses his midden
what an awful smell


it comes in the windows
there's brown stuff on the trees
the house becomes un-liveable
with a gentle breeze



flies the size of dinner plates
coat windows and the door
never seen such monsters
in my life before


so the house is up for sale
with winter viewing slot
at a fraction of what it cost to build
in this idyllic spot
