Going for Broke
I always wanted a picket-fence happiness -
Fluttering white curtains gladly letting in the days -
Yellow daisies on the sill catching the breeze -
Neighbors stopping with their 'hi' to express.
Oh pleasant streets with no outcry night or day -
You are elusive -
I'd have to search in small-town U.S.A. -
Or live in a suburb gated and exclusive.
So if the King grants whatever I ask, I'll go for broke!
Bring on, O King, the vine and fig tree bona fide good -
In one stroke, the whole world would be
A picket-fence neighborhood!
In such event, I might go into real estate soon -
Supply and demand would give the housing market
a spectacular boom.
