Hurry, before this little gem is gobbled up by someone else with a lot of money to throw away on a tiny box!

1. How nice it would be, to live in Nantucket

To act on one's dream, rather than chuck it
I saw in an ad
Just what could be had
And now I reside in a bucket

4. Nice!

Another one we could all relate to from late 2015 until early 2020:

McDonald's had a clown named Ron

Who changed his name to Don

Then he took up residency

In the American presidency

Now we all can't wait 'til he's gone

2. Too cold!

3. Try visiting Block Island before it gets overrun by billionaire riff raff.

5. I wouldn't be able to bear the limericks.

For $2.1 million, you'd think they could find matching weathered shingles for the newly-added attic vent on the front of the house, and do better than covering the other attic vent facing the back yard with a little square of plywood.

It's a lot bigger than the first apartment I rented years ago, a one-room studio.

7. I live in...

A cracker box that's 420sq ft! And it's small!

8. Gives me claustrophobia just looking at it. Years ago I knew

someone who did live on Nantucket for a while (though not AFAIK during the years he was calling me occasionally, when he was living in Boston, on Beacon Hill). A mailing address he used later was for a house in Nantucket, a lot larger than that one - nearly 4000 square feet - but also more expensive, valued at $8 million recently. (I looked it up after seeing DFW mention the cost of living in the area.) I don't know whether my friend owned it or was just renting it, though. There was some money in the family, but I never asked him about that. The house was way overpriced, of course. Would have been under a million in most markets, under half a million in some. Nantucket real estate is ridiculous.

But some people think there's no better place to live. That friend once sent me a map that had Boston - which he thought I should move to - dominating the US, with everything west of the Appalachians marked "unknown" (ha). He probably felt the same way about Nantucket as he did about Boston.

9. Near John Kerry and

Tweety, Chris Matthews I think. A bit smaller than their places though.

10. So small, they didn't have room to spell out "Becalmed."

(sorry, couldn't resist)

11. I would love to live in Nantucket, but if you look at the houses listed, they were built in the

early 2000. Inside the house are minimalistic decorated. I would like a home there, that was more authentic decorated. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast near Nantucket and my baby slept in an antique cradle. The house was decorated in more of the colonial style. It's a shame what they are asking for the houses. And they will no doubt get it. The thing is you can put these houses anywhere in the US. Just because the are shingled doesn't mean they are true Nantucket homes. Which they are not.
