A House is a House for Me

excerpts from A House is a House for Me 

by Mary Ann Hoberman

A hill is a house for an ant, an ant
A hive is a house for a bee
A hole is a house for a mole or a mouse
And a house is a house for me!
*** *** ***
 
And if you get started in thinking,
I think you will find it is true
That the more that you think about houses for things
The more things are houses, to you…
*** *** ***
 
How peaches are houses for peachpits
And sometimes are houses for worms;
How trashcans are houses for garbage
And garbage make houses for germs.
*** *** ***
 
And once you get started in thinking this way,
It seems that whatever you see
Is either a house or it lives in a house,
And a house is a house for me!
