Dust House

Ashes to ashes,
Dust, too.
Scrape off some paint
And rust,too.
Sprinkle some sawdust,
Mix with glue.
A little more fluff
Some light stuff
Add some water
A thimblefull will do.
Wipe off your hands
Throw in the towel
Add cement,
Stir well.
Let dry for about three minutes.
Start another with the same procedure.
When you have a dozen dust stones,
Start building the wall of your dust house.
Before you know it,
You will build many dust stones
Out of carefully selected bones,
Discarded ice cream cones,
Various jewelry,
And dehydrated marshmallows.
Attach dust stones to each other
With flour paste
Or whatever might become glue.
With enough of these dust stones
You can build quite a fancy place.
You can even build a secret hiding place.
Welcome to my house of dust
In a blue sheltered lagoon.
Tomorrow's great,
Be there at seven.
Bye, now, see you soon.
