Loving thy neighbour,
Can be difficult to do,
I will have say no to this rule,
It's like doing hard labour,
You can't see it through,
As anger is what some of them fuel.
Too much noise,
From your girls and boys,
Though we live in a large family house,
Pets and toys,
Their peace it destroys,
They expect you to be quiet as a mouse.
Cutting the grass,
Is a pain the ass,
They expect you to make an appointment,
On Sunday it's mass,
Cutting will harass,
While they're away for anointment.
No D.I.Y.,
Unless you apply,
You must obtain their permission,
That they'll deny,
So, don't dare defy,
Or they'll complain you're breaking tradition.
Home improvements are out,
So be in no doubt,
When asked they will raise an objection,
The lies they spout,
Common decency they flout,
It's from them that we need protection.
No barbecues,
Your music, don't use,
Loving others is such hard labour,
I defiantly refuse,
To love those who abuse,
My commandment?
‘'Do Not Love Thy Neighbour ‘'
the poem is actually nice and tricky funny read my poem after love lost thanks
I thought it a very funny poem. Actually I was a silent version of your hated neighbour as new people moved in next door some 12 months ago. They more or less gutted the house with high pitched drills sounding off etc. I just retaliated by playing very loud rock music. But once their work finished they've been as quiet as mice. I even went to the husband's 60th Birthday party the other day. I love the line While they're away for anointment!

Thank you for the warning. A great write. I am thinking you must have been in a straight jacket.
