THIS OLD HOUSE ~ BRIAN ~ A SPOOKY SAGA

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

THIS OLD HOUSE ~ STUART HAMBLEN ~ BLUE GRASS ACCOMPANIMENT ! 

 

THIS really is a Spooky Tale ~ but I must recount it

In all its Spooky detail ere I start to doubt it !

Id driven to an obscure place ~ to survey Real Estate

My Firm had purchased recently ~ to build something great.

My car broke down ~ quite far from home ~ I had no PHONE

When suddenly behind the trees ~ I saw a Home from Home !

Old Fashioned House with covered porch ~ OK it seemed to me

That I might find a PHONE ~ a CAR ~ perhaps a Cup of Tea !

BUT when I entered ~ through the Door ~ I could hear no sound

Dirt & Neglect & Dust of Time lay thickly on the Ground !

 

I turned to go ~ when suddenly the whole scene was changed

Oil Lamps gleamed and the whole room had furniture arranged

My heart stood still ~ could this be true ~ or just a DEJA VU ?

A MAID appeared and asked me *SIR what canst I do for YOU ?*

I almost asked could I use the phone ~ but I had seen NONE

Or use their CAR but in that age there really wasn*t ONE !

Instead I asked *What Year is it* She answered *EIGHTEEN TEN*

*Could you please lend me a Horse ~ I*ll bring it back again !* 

Fortunately in my purse ~ there was a GOLDEN DOLLAR

I gave it her in exchange for the HORSE and his COLLAR !

 

I galloped off and reached my HOME several hours later

I told the story to my Wife who laughed like an ALLIGATOR ! 

When I awoke next Morning ~ I found this rather weird

The Horse Id ridden the night before ~ had gone and disappeared !

But I didn*t feel too bad ~ she had my Golden Dollar

Which in 1810 would be *GOOD PRICE* for an Old Nag and his Collar !

I took my Truck to fetch my Car ~ I also took my WIFE 

So she could see ~ when we got there ~ the House which served my Life !

When we got there ~ the house was bare ~ no answer to my HOLLAR

But on the floor ~ first thing I saw ~ was my GOLDEN DOLLAR !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN ~ 🧡🧡🧡

 

Have you ever had a DEJA VU ? An experience when you are

transported back in TIME ~ but not in SPACE. The HOUSE was

still there when I went back for my  CAR ~ but in 2010 not 1810 !

      BUENAS DIAS MI OSO GRANDE AMORATO ! Es 20:30 horas aqui ! Loved your Poem a very SPOOKY SAGA indeed. Going back 200 Years in DEJA VU very interesting ! I guess the Hoss you bought for your DOLLAR D*ORO went back in time too ! Ive seen houses like the one on your picture in New England very Colonial : I would love a house like that : An Esssex Timberframe : Please look out for one ! Just relaxing now Tienes Tu un Dia Buen !

      There are many tales out there that cannot be explained that take you back in time - or into the future.
      Good write Brian.

        Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Pleased you enjoyed it ! DEJA VU is always very intersting and I know BRIAN has experienced it several times. Sometimes here in NZ when Im *roamin in the gloamin* I hear MAORI SINGING sweet & low. Theres no one around so maybe its carried on the Wind or maybe the Wind of Time who knows. STUART HAMBLEN wrote that song and I love the TEXAN Blue Grass accompaniment !

        Blessings & Peace & Love to You & JOYCE
        Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          THANKS UNCLE MIKE ~ A bit longer than usual 3 decets ! Saga Poems generally require 20 or more lines ! I also enjoyed writing it ! I have posted DV poems before always a challenge. The POEM was spawned by the PICTURE & then the SONG !

          Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
          Yours through Poetry BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
