A musical prelude

Here is a bit of back-story. Actually, it’s more than a bit. It’s a bunch, stretching back to March 2005. And I have told it to so many people in so many ways, that I have decided to set it to music, to make it more interesting. So call to mind the tune of  “The Star Spangled Banner,” and apply the following words:

In March of last year

We heard of some land

Nice acreage on a hill

With southern exposure

It was right in our town

But we did have to fight

Oh the battles we lost

As we struggled for closure

The sale was so hard

Our psyches were scarred

Bluffed and bamboozled

But we pressed on for-ward

After all we have been through---!

What else--could go—wrong.

(note: As I was writing this, the excavator called to inform us that we will have to blast away some ledge to pour our foundation. So the moral of the story is, don’t write smart-alecky songs that tempt fate because fate generally isn’t known for having a healthy sense of humor).
