In a tiny house....

An anniversary poem for my husband, an architect

to the tune of Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea


There’s modern house
Without a stream
Where a handsome chap
Had a lovely dream
And his dream came true
Quite unexpectedly
Once he’d applied and received his Australian residency

He went out one day
Where the avocados grow
When a gorgeous chick
Stopped to say hello
And before he knew
She’s kissed him tenderly
At a renovated house with fantastic views looking out to sea

They were actually already married and so they packed the car
Went to The Hyatt Coolum and enjoyed the beach and spa

He designed a house
For his wife and three
With a lovely view
And a huge study
And one they got
Their Aussie residency
Built a home in Mapleton with fantastic views looking out to sea

To realise their dreams, this is how it all began
They put their heads together
And devised a strategic plan

Together hand in hand
On the balcony
With the colourful birds
Kids, one, two and three
Drinking beer and wine
And singing merrily
In their architect designed home in Mapleton with views to the sea!
