ALL I WANT IS A COTTAGE

All I want is a cottage, not too small, by a pretty lake,
And trees tall and stately that whispering sounds make,
A garden where can be grown flowers of every kind,
And all sorts of fruit trees and vegies to dazzle the mind.

It should look kind of pretty with a chimney tall,
A red roof that mingles with the colours in the fall,
A porch that goes three sides round, so you can see
A sun rise and a sun set, and in the sun always be.

Inside would be special, shiny floors and carpets bright.
Lots of little windows clean, letting in the sun’s light.
A large stone fireplace with comfy chairs all around,
When it snow’s, true warmth and comfort are found.

The kitchen will be large enough for us all to be together,
For many family reunions in all different sorts of weather.
So it should not be too far away, this dream cottage of mine,
For it would not be a home at all if folks did not stop to dine.
