Munday on Monday: Teardown

Just yesterday, a house had stood

(A stalwart of this neighborhood)

But now a vacant lot gapes forth;

“It’s spring,” I thought; “They’re headed north.”

The great migration: underway;

Come June, the shores of Hudson Bay

Will teem with houses — name a few?

Why, Cape Cods — Georgians — Tudors — whew!

But someone sees my theory’s flaws:

A teardown is more likely cause.

“We’ll know who’s right come fall,” I said,

“When all the houses southward head.”
