Hut for two

We built this house 
out of earthquake 
bricks, conflagration 
straw and fire sticks. 
Took a break (well-laid) 
in foundational rut, stood
far enough back and shelled
the whole place with 
mortar and such, 

and 

the whole thing fell up! 
Flew together at once. 
A mansion for two, 
in our minds we trust,
in our hearts we've flown, 
in our beings we screw 
as bored we lay down, 
we've papered all walls 
with our painted cries 
and sticky smiles, and 
pouty frown. Such house
we have built to the last,

and we'll crowd all cozy 
and fast, as we are 
allowed. 

To this wonderful welcome 
door, we come in.
All the wolves 
in the world
at our backs
can stew! As soon as we've 
got the chimneys in. 

The supplier says 
give me a week or two, 
you guys. You sure

you're contracting 
this thing yourself? 

Show 'nuff. That's 
the ways we were 
always wise too late 
to change all the locks
and stuff.
