I struggled with this week’s, so I apologize in advance. But at least, with 129 words, I’m under the word limit!
~Dallas, But Not That One~
By Wanda Goodjob
Come listen to a story ‘bout a man named DallasA rich businessman, kept his family in a palace
Then one day he was enjoying autonomy
Then-boom!-he lost his job in a depressed economy!
Downsized, that is. Sacked. Pink slipped.
Well first thing you know old Dallas was so poor
Mortgage company said, “Dallas move away from there”
They said, “tarpaper shack is where you ought to be”
So they loaded up the U-Haul and moved to Valley.
City, that is. North Dakota. Low unemployment rates.
Well now it’s time to say goodbye to Dallas and all his family
‘Cause they’ll soon freeze their butts off in the northern territory
Y’all are invited back, but please leave your car
And don’t forget to drop some money in the jar!

If you show enough houses, you learn all the tricks. Every realtor is just a ninja with a blazer. The average burglar breaks in and leaves clues all over the place, but not me. I’m completely clueless. ~Phil Dunphy, Modern Family
