My Neighbor Calls 911

I have a neighbor who ties up 911
Complaining that a dog is barking 

A person who is in dire need might not be able to get through
He might not be able to connect while they are still conscious
We have tried to explain this to her

But she is selfish, and does not put others first
Pete’s garbage can is still out.
There she goes to call 911.

I like this one. I had a friend (now dead) would call 911 so the fire truck would come over to feed her. This is so wrong. Have a great day thinking/writing away............
