House Is My Name



House
is my
name

House is my name, I’m open to some,
hidden to those without means.
My hat’s name is roof
and it likes to lick rain,
it drinks and it gurgles in gutters.
I have many doors to enter me whole,
I have windows that look into my soul.
Sometimes I crack, get broken into,
sometimes my guests leave me dirty.
I get slept in, arranged, painted and slapped,
I get locked and unlocked to the world.
I am many and few, single and none,
yarded, concreted, made up to look
gold. I am bought, I am sold, rented and leased,
most people just want me
to spend time inside me
so come take a look, open my doors,
come inside please!

Now time for my lame anti-dada moment that I share with all my named friends…
This is the T-shirt and Hoodie I wear, the poster I see on my wall:

Vino Is My Name

Vino is my name Vino is my name, my twin brother is Wine, the same Wine who recently bragged on this blog. There’s not much difference between us, we just have different names, our colours are mostly red, white, and pink. My nickname is Vin, bonjour, rouge and blanc, au revoir to everyone who doesn’t imbibe me. Everything is just grape!, Chardonnay and Shiraz, Rose, Pinot Noir, and Grenache. Of course, Rose is not a grape, but let’s not dwell on that, drink Champagne! Prosecco is awesome, I love sparkling, as much as I love my calm and still friends. Sniff me and Taste me, take in all my juice, Get tipsy, relaxed, or what they call Drunk! I open mouths and great minds of all different sizes, speaking of which, I wait patiently in different sized bottles, cans, glasses, and barrels, to be served and enjoyed, but mostly in 750ml bottles to share. I’m fine and I’m common, found almost everywhere, Vino is my name, you know you want me! Now t...
