Landlords’ Lament

O. Wendell Pickle, a longtime real estate broker and investor, has rented to a variety of tenants ranging from responsible citizens to murderers and murderesses, embezzlers, liars, and thieves.

In his collection of limericks, written with an exorbitant amount of poetic license, Pickle offers a glimpse into what it is like to be a landlord in America while sharing some of the hundreds of creative excuses he has been offered by tenantswith and without a straight facefor not paying their rent either on time or at all.

Landlords Lament is a compilation of amusing verses that seek to help both seasoned or novice landlords feel they are not alone in a world filled with really bad excuses.

Rent is not credit by any means.He has trouble understanding, it seems.Hell go out of his wayTo spend it all that dayWith a I had to buy me some new jeans.
