Timerick: Homes Now Typically Sell in a Week, Forcing Buyers to Take Risks (WSJ)

 


a week ago I bought a house;

at least I thought I did.
but when the realtor called me up
he said I still must bid.
for other buyers were on board
and jacking up the price.
I didn't think that sporting and 
it certainly ain't nice.
So I upped my ante a few thousand --
what the heck.
but when my realtor called me back
he wouldn't take my check.
I pleaded and I hollered
but that villain simply said:
"the housing market is insane
and standing on its head!"
My money cannot buy a home;
I rest my weary bones
on a park bench till the day
I get some bigger loans!
