Makin' A Home
This poem was in an old magazine from my grandma’s house. It was written by Ann Johnson, Sacramento, CA. She won a $1.00 prize for it!
“Makin’ a Home”
It isn’t much this place of ours,
Some foks would no doubt say;
An’ some might even whisper,
“My, how can they live that way?”
It’s only two little, tiny rooms;
And it has no bath, it’s true,
But we have a big ol’ wash tub
And we manage to make that do.
‘Twas such fun a fixin’ it up,
Why we papered the whole inside;
An’ when we gaze on the shiy paint
It fills our hearts with pride!
Some Folks can live in mansions
An’ hire everthing done;
But sometimes I git to thinkin’,
They’re missin’ a lot o’ fun!
They never know the joy
Of doin’ things theirselves;
Like makin’ curtains and hookin’ rugs,
An’ paperin’ kitchen shelves.
Or buyin’ things at bargin sales,
And gee, that’s heaps o’ fun;
An’ figurin’ out how much it cost
When all the work is done.
Sometimes I think if we was rich,
With a mansion and servants galore,
An’ all the walls was painted gold,
I couldn’t love it more!
--Ann Johnson,
Sacramento, CA
