Condo Commando Landings

Condo Commando Landings They came in shiny silver saucer shaped air ships With cylindrical flashing red lights in the night From Planet New Jersey Alien space crafts…. I mean .… weather balloons, (according to NASA) From many light years…. I mean… traffic lights away Landing in Miami first with a thirst for power They slithered from the… ‘Weather balloons” in zombie brigades Heads tilted, drooling, snorting and looking for trouble Your condominium community is their new headquarters Condo commandos are here to stay A cruel fiduciary species without any borders Going from door to door Giving owners & tenants lists of rules with magnitudinal orders Millions of regulations, line item expenses, and assessments You must fulfill….You will fulfill…you will comply or die! “Resistance is futile!” They cry…. Or mumble…or moan Or whatever it is the walking dead do If you walk on pavements you will be fined If you have babies they must return to the womb No plants…. No flowers… No signs on your condos And keep your doors closed at all times Don’t think about crime. Don’t ask any questions And pay your condo dues or be sequestered

Hi Ellen, Glad you enjoyed it. I realize it is not well structured but it has some fun elements to it. Condo managers are a strange breed. The ET element was intentional. I was paying $375.00 a month in maintenance fees for my condo earlier this year. I am now paying $664.00 a month. It is no longer a laughing matter. I will have to pay over $1,000.00 a month by the end of this year. Thanks for commenting. Earl

this makes me think of the fees and rules and regulations that can suck you dry living in a condo community, I like the comparison with aliens and their space ships, then again, I could be way off base!
