Be a good Samaritan....! Our neighbor may not be an agreeable person always, he might have sometimes offended you. Still love your neighbor. This is what Jesus wants us to do. A great message you have given through your poem. Powerful poem, dear Kim.

What a quirky cute write with an important message in the end. Although I do think the Kirby people still come around on occasion. And the bobblehead people? Too funny Kim
