Own a, Honte

The man who travels all round And ne'er acquires a foot of ground,Or from the town that gave him birth, Goes forth and visits all the earth, Will find, when at his journey's end He had no time to make a friend. And all alone must ope the gate, Of life's last door, and face his fate.

Ahd likewise whose money's spent, For other people's homes, in rent, He, also, is as inse,cure, And,finds elsewhere as great a lure, As he who travels on his way, Here yesterday, and there today, But you will find in every town, That those good men who settle down And build a home and keep a pup Are always those who settle up And pay their bills right on the dot, And keep a lien from house and lot. That man's a citizen worth while, The banker greets him with a smile, The butcher cuts a chunk of wuerst And says: 'Just pay me on the first." The grocer sends him sack and can, His bill is good with such a man, And favors he will always show To him who owns a bungalow. The moral of this little pome, Is that it pays to own a home.
