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.
