If eyes are windows to the soul  
and walls have ears,  
the fridge's a magnet to control  
your hopes and fears,  
the kitchen sink is all that's been  
willing or otherwise, thrown in,  
there is considerable proof  
the attic longs for a new roof,  
the monster in the basement -  
a rug that needs replacement  
Though some might disapprove  
I think it's time to move.
