================&&&&&====================
Got the plans from the designer
It set out elaborate recommendations
About how to build a house to last
There were references to a strong foundation
Before the walls go up
Seems like it'll cost a bomb and take so long
Quite a bit of bother
All for a part of the house
Nobody will ever see
================&&&&&====================
That all said and done
The fact remains; the house is mine
I can build it exactly how I want
My aim is to impress, the Joneses next door
With a house, that will make heads turn
My priority is set, for what to spend
It's outside, inside and then beneath
The sooner the better, for the walls to go up
Take as little time, on the parts that can't be seen
================&&&&&====================
It wasn't easy
But we got there in the end
My stunning house was now complete
I lost count of those, who stopped to comment
On just how beautiful a house, it looked
So it should be, as no cost was spared
For it was to reflect, the glory of my wealth and taste
It had been standing some time, no sign of it falling
I knew the designer had just been over cautious
There really was nothing, to be worried about
================&&&&&====================
All was well, like the calm before the storm
That
s when all hell let loose
An almighty storm, like never seen before
Seemed to rise out of nowhere
I felt reasonably confident
Apart from the faint echoes of my designer
s advice
Well, the rest is history
I took shelter in the Joneses house
================&&&&&====================
We've cleared the rubble
Remnants of an expensive lesson
I 'm ready to build again
To never ignore the designers advice
Insure against the storms of life
Drive those foundations deep
No cost and time spared
So I can provide the shelter
For other unwise neighbours
When the storms, hit again
================&&&&&====================
