Manhattan Real Estate

Apartments are expensive
With an extra monthly fee
For maintenance, which I can
Understand, to a degree.

But in an advertisement
For a condo that’s for sale,
A factor was included
That would make some people bail.

Along with monthly maintenance,
The purchasers would pay
Nine hundred for utilities
But, more outrageous, they

Would have to shell out, with no choice,
(Get set for Oh, my goshing!)
A fee of almost fifty bucks
For monthly window washing!

Perhaps it’s people just like me
Who prompted such expenses.
My windows, lacking such demands,
Display the consequences.
