A Neighbour's Plight

She walks like me
She talks like me
She dresses like me
Apparently

But what a to do
For the lady who
Thinks we're two
Unfortunately

She lives by me
She smiles like me
She laughs like me
Apparently

I said, Why not try
To both saying 'Hi'
But she's quite shy
Unfortunately

So on we go
But at least I know
Why she says hello
Occasionally

Hi Darlene, we were one and the same person, but my neighbour thought we were 2 different people for some reason
