Have You Ever Habitat?

Have You Ever Habitat?

Perhaps not an easy read this; but besides presenting different spellings to change meaning like much of this writing does intend, it’s also to help slow down the reading; to give pause if you will; maybe you’ll spend the time to picture the images as it’s being read; seconds yes, but maybe minutes or moor; too ponder the circumstance is; look - at what’s being said or done at the time; ‘listen’ to the conversations as the seen’s are being played out in your mmined.

Hopefully you’ll read these without getting annoyed or pissed off. I’mm sure you real eyes that reading writing like this does tend to make one stop in they’re tracks. But hold on, after a time or too or however long it takes you, if in fact you’re still with it; it’ll flow; I’ll of course welcome you back each time and…
All weighs.

In any case, as most things in these types of situations seem to go in the life of MMShine, there’s a heck of a lot of stories connected with everything one can imagine; from the beginning to… there’s really no end yet; I’mm still alive at this writing. When I DO arrive at that point know that I’ve instructed friends where to find the rest. Suffice it to say this is not the beginning of those stories but sum - we’re in between.

In 1994 through every fault of mmy own is when this life arrived in a storm while hoping to be involved with a Jimmy Carter Work Project - Habitat for Humanity. Unlike most, I had no ticket to ride as they say; like Woodstock, I just showed up with really no clue as to what will follow. Years later I’mm still trying to follow as best I can, what was found after what was lost before - way back then. (Thanks CRST- I love you too)

Habitat is the same international organisation headquartered in the U.S. state of Georgia; and not far from the ex-U.S. president’s home town. Habitat is the same corporation who build homes for and especially with - WITH low income families. Quite an experience it was and won that I’ll never forget; for lots of reasons really. It helped to change mmy life is the most important won hear. It will yours too if won day you may decide to be involved – end do.
Hear’s hoping you will.

Remembering many of the things that happened during that seven day experience as well as thinking a bit about the before, and the questions one may ask themselves or especially you after; the one most important question to you is:

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Have you ever pounded nails in this?
Have you ever screwed those things on that?
Have you ever helped doubt; sighed width siding?
Have you ever built a house? Wild, trying
Two teach, end learn with families buying
The very first home of their own?

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Yes, their won end ownly - a very first home we'd
Quench a thirst of those who've dreamed for years and worse
Threw toil end tears just couldn't cope
Tried hard, no dough supplied - " Know hope!"
But weren't able or per haste unstable
When the monetary whirled sir killed
There wag gone - or poked holds in they're
Sales pitch 'n sums of an arm mend a leg

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Have you ever joined 'em too few coin them?
Lasts a week or so, then aisle bet chew goes
"MMan! I’mm glad we did that Beverly, Jean."
Installing rock, sanding pocked marks - cleaned,
Listening to Jazz singing red, blues with
Folks in a country or any setting all the time fretting
Of falling off a ladders WHISH!! WHEW!! Wild-SWISH
Gladys 'n the kids 'n other guise in bibs
Overalls were standing up walls
End too and took a lottaaaaaa
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?


"Grab that board knot the thin but the fat one
Oops! Yes, that son, THAT'S the won… help 'em Will
Bring it hear plea's Jill, we'll cut it like cream cheese, cakes grilled;
Shear those ends Wright, off this fir, flaked - Doug drilled
Wheel glue wit too, it’s plays, end pluggit
We all yelled, "Yaaaaa’s," as we tugged at it
"The waist? Goes there, watch this end, pitch it! Stay clear there, Richard!!"

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Have you ever put on shingles
Standing slanted, wild sliding off a roof? "Weave just a single nail?" asked Gayle
"Who wants some juice, ICE CREEEM!!" booth lunch ladies wailed
How come Gayle? All that's left at the bottom of THIS pail,
'Caused the lass won up forgot two, "BRING more Dale!"
Has he bailed to retrieve the door trim punch
From Richard the red head’s bag-ged lunch?

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Yeah, Richards door trim punch when just before lunch
The nails we put in the boards 'round those doors – Those!
Have to be hit further so the doors wood close
Helps the work look come plea Ted, Rose, Dwight
Oh don't worry that the end is tweaked - just tight
Though you're right Mike - it'll bend, just like it's knot supposed - too friends!

Have you ever stood on the top of a house;
Climbed the peek like a mouse when seek in leaks in a roof nailed on by who all Knows who goofed? What end? Weird eye put that hammer’n… ?
All the wholes should be closed oar the rain 'n snow flows, sure 'nuff ice floes too
Down in through out the place is yes, the attic space then on
It's a waist threw the ceiling quite revealing
When the lights go on ’n off threw out all that.

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Have you ever tried to cut sum plywood
When habbers ruined your mark as they stood on it gabbin' 'bout their towns?
'Course wood shouldn't be cut on the grounds, swell
" Ohhhhh, OWWWW! HELL!! Next time eye'll be looking 'round
So aye don't step on another thought nailed down, butt found sticking up,"
Wailed him penned down,” Who put that there, you Brown? You Pat???"

Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?
Have you ever Habitat? Have you EVER Habitat?

Have you ever dug deep ‘fore a post? Worked in heat, burnt like toast?
Summer's hot in the attic, lined with scratchy pink stuff fabric
Like twirled cotton candy pads, MMan! I’mm just so happy Gladys
This ain't what we due for a living though aye don't mmind giving
A week of sow, of hour time, yes sigh KNOW folks are kind
When people help people with others dreams in mmined.
