Sometimes, dey take mortgage loan too high..
And then, Foreclosures,
Dey boilin' over and ruinin' de country!

I'd bet the house on this one! Brought back memories of Allan Sherman's parody of this too. Well done!
you sold me with this one
Thanks, Jeff...yeah it's an oldie...and thanks, alvin
Sadly well done, but you forgot the part about the abandoned pets.
Thanks 2Eagle...didn't know they abandoned them with the houses..that's bad, too
Sir, it's true !! The Pet shelters are full to the max! Mostly due to the fact that apartments here in norCAL won't accept pets. (of the 4-legged kind)
