On the back of this house,

Is an olden device to,

Let people know of welcome,

As a simple passerby would do,

Howdy neighbor,

Let us get to know each other and pass our time,

Without making too much noise in the meantime,

A nice journey is ahead of us,

Knock if you would like to,

A ring of the bell would be better,

It is louder,

And more justifiable,

Serious inquiries only,

Golden chimes with brass knuckles to accentuate the truth,

Of a simple visit of times, when they were greater,

And easier had than others,

These are them that I am glad they are there.
