POEM ~ Country Agent ~ 20 Apr 2019


Country Agent


Through cobwebs and snakes
the agent trudged
to present a property
that was once much loved

But time rolls by
when people die
kids go to the city
someone must buy

The drone flies around
filming the homestead
once a stone mansion
now more dead

But words is words
and this may sell
to a city slicker
sees heaven in hell

The agency founder
dear departed Dad
once got smart
selling land to be had

Far away on the Moon
along with the title
just go claim
when possible

A chip off the block
why not sell Mars
where Musk plans a city
who could pass?

Its the re-sale value
once its legal
or go build a house
on a SpaceX shuttle

That shack is falling down
but a smart fella bought it
nicely restored
who would believe it?

A country house 
in a country town
with a solid wood stove
the buyer's no clown

Back in the office
feet on his desk
the agent wonders
what could be next?

Why not apartments
in an orbital space city
a business plan drafted
the model's a beauty

A website created
all luscious and tempting
an investment of ages
retirement for spending

Dad would be proud
made a mint with the Moon
space cities are bigger
gold with a boom

Don't mind the shower
get a total refit
that tree has a lean
I'll get them to cut it

You want a hill?
The view will amaze
looking over a valley
to endlessly gaze

An old school house
Gothic in stone
could be a gallery
with an interesting home

An apartment in space
with a view of the Earth
time-share the expenses
with an annual berth

Anything's possible
when willing to dream
a tree-change in the country
or riding a Moon beam

Home again by the fire
the flames dance around
dreams of the future
celestial bound

NOTE ~   Some people have made money by selling land on the Moon. Just try to claim it. Has anyone sold land on Mars ..... yet. Selling apartments in an orbital space settlement would be a very sound business plan, for an agent with vision ~
