The House That Jack Built

This is the farmer sowing his corn,
That kept the cock that crowed in the morn,
That waked the priest all shaven and shorn,
That married the man all tattered and torn,
That kissed the maiden all forlorn,
That milked the cow with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

(Waterville, Washington State)

    Seeing this, I wouldn’t let Jack build me a doghouse!
    Love the way you composed this… the master show home from hell, smack in the middle and proud to be on display. Sick and beautiful at the same time, it stands out in all it’s glory to be loved and hated. Nice take.

    Yes, the more I look at this shot, the more impressed I am. There is just something special about it. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you sweetness!! There’s just something about those crazy old houses. They each seem to have their own personality!
