Suzie, is around in her neighbourhod most of the time collecting the latest news.When household chores keep her at home,her window is only solace.One day,while spending hours beside the window, she had forgotten about the guests invited for lunch.

In most neighbourhood of yesteryears
Lurked a ‘Peeping Tom,’
But Suzie is different, as she is
A fulltime busy mom.
Suzie, yes, you know her
The lady who loves to chat,
About every Tom Harry and Dick
Every this and that.
What’s happening what’s not happening
And what’s going on there,
Her eyes are on everyone
Who cares and does not care.
As usual, she sat by her window
To peer at her neighbour’s house,
Some squabble sure was underway
Between Sheila and her spouse.
She waited and she waited
She waited for a glimpse,
Louder got the noise Oh dear!
A bitter thrash of whims.
The household chores could wait right then
Bothersome! as they could be,
An exchange of heat is welcome
To break the monotony.
Some yelling she did hear and
Suzie gave a sigh,
To find the reason for all this
Suzie longed to try.
Then wrath gave way to warmth
Anger turned to laughter,
Blaring on the TV a skit was on
‘Happily Ever After.’
But Suzie had forgotten
She’d have guests for lunch that day,
When there rang the telephone
They were some minutes away.
While rice that cooked in the kitchen
Got flattened into roast,
And milk that simmered for pudding
Was parched into toast!
i wanted to go back to the begginning of your writing career and add my comments to your first publication on triond. this is a lovely poem. i am sure that there is a suzie within all of us and so we can relate so well to her personality. 
I came back to read this poem again. I really liked it alot. oh, lol, it looks like gaby felt the same as me. but i am single. i love the poem. suzie sounds like a very busy girl.
