ACCOUNTING IS…
Accounting is a piece of pie,
A bowl of cherries, smoked ham on rye,
A fertile seed, a drop of rain,
A problem solved, which comes again!
Accounting is a loaf of bread,
A chocolate malt, a table spread,
A sticky bun, a sunny day,
A laughing child in blissful play.
Accounting is a fine new suit,
A trumpet blast, snap-to salute,
A restful snooze, a banquet set,
An afternoon with friends just met.
Accounting is a mountain peak,
A waterfall, a winding creek,
A hungry grizzly held at bay,
A cloudless sky, a booming hooray!
Accounting is Red Sox baseball,
A cooling breeze, a supper call,
Accounting is a hearty laugh,
A tiny pooch, a large giraffe.
Accounting is a cat well fed,
A flock of geese, night sky that’s red,
A run, a hike, an auto race,
A silken gown, with frilly lace!
Accounting is so many things,
A lump of clay, a set of wings,
A way to classify expenses,
A scheme that’s used to build strong fences.
Accounting calls, and we must go,
A plan in mind, a tale of woe,
Accounting ends where we begin
A journey home, sweet rest to win!

A HOUSE OR A HOME?
A house or a home, now what shall we build,
With helpers so eager, and carpenters skilled?
Plans have been drawn, our family to suit,
As hopes keep on growing, with timelines acute!
Now off to the dealer, where orders are filled,
The lumber to use will be skillfully milled;
Preparing…now doing, it’s all a great task,
To see our needs met, we’ve just had to ask!
Now nails we’ll buy, and studding, for sure,
Check on our samples, and read a brochure;
We’ll also soon buy our roofing and siding,
In experts now helpful, we’re carefully confiding.
On floors and plumbing and lights that we’ll need,
Varied colors and styles, and we must be agreed;
Then septic and water well, with piping we’ll use,
So many details, -- no help we refuse!
We’re building a house, -- that’s not all it’ll be,
A house that’s a home, for visitors to see;
Where father and mother, with children and dog
Smile now, and laugh, while some craft a blog!
A home we now want, with love that runs free,
Yes, love that is tough, like a spreading oak tree;
Housed with much labor, with fine work and skill,
May God guide our work, may we do His good will!
