Every home I have lived in,

they’ve been around

some happy, some sad,

some who’ve constantly frowned,

chat over the fence or a wave passing by,

reassuring and comforting,

without reasoning why.

Just lately one neighbour

has bought a new dog,

the  barking and whining

leaves others agog,

to the left we have drilling

at the oddest of hours,

our peace and tranquility

it constantly sours!

The old man just opposite,

plants pots day and night,

his gardens a beauty,

just his minds not quite right.

He potters in the garden,

come rain or come shine,

I’m hoping that some day,

he’ll come and do mine.

Child at number 10,

has been bought a guitar,

I surely could throw it,

some distance afar,

My neighbours tho noisy,

have other delights,

heres hoping the dog barks,

and never does bite!!
