Why do I own a villa
Why do I own a villa?
I really do not know
It costs a lot of money
For us to rarely go.
We purchased it three years ago
It is our pride and joy
But the mortgage keeps on rising
It’s not a blinking toy.
The guests may do some damage
An accident I see
Do I keep their deposit
They will not like me
My wife would like to visit Easter
But someone wants to book
I’m afraid that we will have to wait
It’s just a bit of bad luck
For it is very important
To get some money in
We have to pay the mortgage
And that keeps on rising
Insurance is very costly
The hurricanes you see
We’ll keep it in your escrow account
But there’s no interest for me
We want a new television
An LCD screen I think
So our guest can watch tv
While washing at the sink
A new bed in the master
A king size that will do
New sofas in the family room
And they are costly too
Some people up from Texas
Complained that they were too hot
Been messing with the thermostat
And set it like as not
The electricity bill was huge that month
And no one else to pay
Just dig deep into my pockets
And rent it come what may
Should we have done it sooner?
Bought years and years ago
When the price was less than now
I should think so.
We could have had many
Had we started then
But finances didn’t allow
Had we purchased way back when
And when we get to visit
There’s lots of jobs to do
So when the holiday is over
We need another too.
Our eldest lad is eighteen
He doesn’t want to come
But if we left him on his own
Our house would be a slum
So being a demon
And for the very last time
I insist he comes with us
And his will succumbs to mine
Do we enjoy our villa?
Yes, we really do
And when a renter chooses it
That is a thrill too.
Will we ever sell it
No I don’t think so
We’re looking forward to retirement
And months away from snow
So we will keep improving
Our villa in the sun
We hope that you enjoy it
Just like we have done
Snowbirds they are welcome
They fill a useful gap
But they will want a discount
And quality on tap
But when their time is over
And they have gone away
We get down to the business
Of renting as we may
Some come to sunny Florida
And rent a villa here
You wont find better place to stay
You can rent one with no fear
So finally I end this rhyme
From every owner here
You are welcome at our villas
We hope you come next year.
