Kelly and her Neighbors

Kelly cannot get along with her new neighbors
Their tree limbs fall on her fence
They say they want to poison mice
They park their car too close to her property
They plant flowers she does not like to smell
None of the other neighbors like them either, Kelly says.
She sounds like a thirteen-year-old when she says this.
The other neighbors are all on my side.
Make that a ten-year-old.
What do you think? She asks me.
I think you are giving them way too much attention, I say.
