The Wrong House
I
went
into
a
house,
and
it
wasn't
a
house,
It
has
big
steps
and
a
great
big
hall;
But
it
hasn't
got
a
garden,
A
garden,
A
garden,
It
isn't
like
a
house
at
all.
I
went
into
a
house,
and
it
wasn't
a
house,
It
has
a
big
garden
and
great
high
wall;
But
it
hasn't
got
a
may-tree,
A
may-tree,
A
may-tree,
It
isn't
like
a
house
at
all.
I
went
into
a
house,
and
it
wasn't
a
house
-
Slow
white
petals
from
the
may-tree
fall;
But
it
hasn't
got
a
blackbird,
A
blackbird,
A
blackbird,
It
isn't
like
a
house
at
all.
I
went
into
a
house,
and
I
thought
it
was
a
house,
I
could
hear
from
the
may-tree
the
blackbird
call…
But
nobody
listened
to
it,
Nobody
Liked
it,
Nobody
wanted
it
at
all.
