Annoying Neighbour

An annoying neighbour
Lives a few houses down
A neighbour has no concern
for people living around him
Celebrations holidays until dawn
It goes on until 4 in the morn
Followed the sane the next day
Plays music so loud all evening
One can have a party for one
Inside their own bedroom
Music plays on till the early dawn
Bike races on a walkway path
Are so loud can awake the dead
Complain to the mayor-does not help
He tells us these parties are allowed
So the annoying neighbour has his way
Hoping the next mayor will change the law

Years back, I had one of those once, across the street; cars everywhere, drugs, music blaring till 4am; anyone who called the police, the police would come out and tell them who reported them and you'd find hubcaps missing the next day or something like that. They finally moved away and the whole neighborhood was so happy. Well penned truth of so many who've experienced this.

I think this is a universal thing. We had a neighbor who at 3:00 am every night would sound off his truck horn which is a train whistle. It was very annoying. I can relate to this poem.

Hello Bette,yes you can. I do not mind a train whistle.I hear it at a distance. But a truck doing this is silly. I feel for you. Have a nice day my friend.

Hello Jenish Somadas, I guess i will have to love my neighbour until the next mayor comes along. have a nice day my friend.

Darlene! Sorry to hear this. No, noise is not acceptable in each city in the world. Not allowed where I live in the USA. I just call the POlice and they go to the annoyers and that ends that. I live also in a gated community where the rules are strict on noise. I have lived for years with crazy Noise People and nobody gave a hoot. Now, Live in heaven. A blessing))) Love, PR

Hi Darlene, we have one of those neighbours but we have sold our house and are moving into a secure complex - they are very annoying these kind of neighbours. Lovely poem. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Oh Darlene! Sorry to hear that. ..and you remind me of a neighbor I have who comes from MA and shoots off a cannon (that broke things in my house) (and traumatized the pets in the neighborhood). The sheriff said , he could, until the sheriff was there to witness it - KABOOM! Sorry, for such a long comment, but this poem brought it back to me. Well done :)
