Living at Heritage Estates
By Elton Camp
Name, “Heritage Estates,” is a good pick
For a residential area it could do the trick
Dwellers in that place, who could blame
For taking pride in such an excellent name
A heritage is usually looked on with pride
Estate is a swanky house in which to reside
And its street is a single mile-long cul de sac
If you enter, then turn around and come back
The dwellings are on lots that are quite small
Worker’s truck can’t pass between them at all
But for big yards, people are no longer keen
That sort of home density is very often seen
At Heritage Estates, crime rate is very low
It’s a place where very few burglars will go
And pesky salesmen rarely go there to call
They know they’d get almost no sales at all
The architecture has a great consistency
Slight differences in style is all you see
Folks seem at a similar level of income
To foolish extravagance none succumb
On both sides of the wide street are spied
Trailers, mostly single, a few double-wide
Drying clothes are hung on a line out back
Garbage cans out front, none of them lack
Many windows are both cracked and dirty
Girls sitting on the porches are quite flirty
“Heritage Estates” for a trailer park is a joke
For, such a false image that name does evoke
