I Hate Everyone Except You

I despise her. She is loud.
He is my nemesis. I could tell you stories….
They are the worst neighbors of all.
If their car was any closer to my fence I would shoot holes in it.
If I had a gun.

I cannot stand the new guy with the pick-up truck.
He is your typical Chevy driver.
They always pull out in front of you.
I would never date one of them.
Just a second. The neighbors are….
”HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?”

I have to tell you, these neighbors are stuck up.
Won’t answer a simple question.
I hate all of the neighbors except for you.
I like you.
That’s why I never turn you into the cops when you are speeding.
I don’t like it, but I have not called them yet.
Damn! A solicitor is banging on my door.
If I had a gun….
