Neighbor

You are one to a guy living close, Who sometimes lets you in on his woes, The wrought by nearness of abodes; Families walking the same roads… Neighbor don’t deny your Good Morning, At noon over the slight still mourning: “Our blocks in the same habitation And soon hearts of equal palpitation” Yep, The Controlled By Vicinity, Ahead going to embrace unity: To stretch the name fullest: Good Neighbor, As minds should not conceive Bad Neighbor… Sometimes mindful of competition, Your steady progress for petition; Furtive glances at your new garments, As you keep renewing them laments. The poor wearies the rich with pleas “For just my breakfasts help out, please!” The rich with enervating labor As condition for grant of favor! Still, when it matters submits to bond: In cocktails of one another fond; For the wife beater alerts a cop, For another’s death could himself drop!
