Just to "realease" I offer this haiku...please note the hopeful question mark at then end.
Never Finishing
Many things done wrong - I sob
Someday a "done" house?

Beware homeowner
For once a house has been "done"
It must be re-done

We think we're near done
but my contractor just laughs
"Done" will never come |

I can get the bids
but that is not my problem --
its the bid amount
when I ask my friends,
how much did the job cost you?,
I add five thousand.

it started out small
then we said "while we're at it..."
it ended up big |

In the purple light of dawn
I think of Right One
Why did'nt I call them?
Was that 17? Maybe it was 18... Oh well,
Good thing we have a poetic license as well as a plumbing license. |

A great idea forms
Perhaps haiku estimates
from all contractors?

The Contractor arrived
Left at a quarter to five
I don’t think our house will Survive
He brought in a wrecking crew
I hoped the job would be true
It appears he recruited them from the zoo
Another job undone
They tried to cut corners for fun
Another contractor who will never see the Sun

Ten carpenter ants
nails, boards, and bags of concrete
no carpenter's square

In my floor, a hole
Soft whispering of rodents
No money for trap. |

Holes, holes everywhere
holes in my soul and my walls
This is construction? |

Haiku bids look cute
what protection would they give
to you or to me? |
