the first
\ndrafty?
\nwill they
\nwon’t they
\nmake the
\nlong haul
\ntrial house<\/p>\n

\ndown the chimney
\nand flopped
\nacross the ceiling<\/p>\n

a bird getting into the house
\nwas real bad luck, Aunt Anna
\nsaid when I was a child<\/p>\n

\nAnna’s juju either
\nbut putting a grate up
\nmade it easier on us all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
