Colonial House

oh, Grand ancient behemoth of teak!
what memories you hold.
Above, and beyond.....with nicks in your walls;
Crayon Pastels in your hall.

Beyond the garden fair!
under like a servant....... is the Garden of Posies;
their reflection in your Crystal Panes stare.
oh, Grand ancient behemoth of teak!
what memories you hold.....

Your great Oaks shade in Summer;
Protection in winter from Cold.
yeah, oh inanimate...... you do live! oh, wondrous home!
A Place to lay , is all I need......
as, oh! as I grow old!
oh Grand ancient behemoth of teak!
You will always be home.

Thy stone work Chimney, above the world;
my land mark of Sweet woodland smoke.
oh,Grand ancient behemouth of teek!
Such memories, as I Grow old.....
You'll always be alive, my mortal.....
oh, my immortal home!
Though, oh, Teak is too true..... forever Unchanged.
