House of Koan


House of Koan

“Mr. Koan’s been gone awhile,”
Thought the House he’d left behind.
So it set out one early morn
Mr. Koan to find.
What! A walking house!
Dude, you surely jest.
No, this House is unique.
It’s different from all the rest.
It feels, it thinks, it creates
Concepts, designs and visuals.
It turns the impossible into possible;
The usual into unusual.
If you’ve a problem in that line
You only have to pay.
The House will lend a helping hand;
It will always find a way—
Because the guiding light of the House of Koan
Is, “If it can’t be done it must be done”.
