My New Neighbor
In my close vicinity has come a neighbor
Who is seen by all as a terrible bore
No one is quite sure of his identity
Nobody seems to endure his audacity
If you go to him, he will bore you with his brag
With stories, your precious time he will drag
Once, with him if you have a chance encounter
Never will you dare to have another
When he begins his tedious yapping
The listeners start turning and yawning
Nobody, his words closely attend
Not a single soul wants to be his friend
He is equally puffed up as a pedant
About displaying knowledge he is ardent
But his learning is tawdry as a bauble
If probed deep, it bursts like a bubble!
Not that he lacks any sense of humor
But he has some shady deals, runs the rumor
Some say he runs an illegal distillery
His past is history and his present a mystery
Meeting him face to face is a fright
People often flee for life from his sight
Some say, he plays many a foul trick
That he is seen as a pestering tick
By his talk he makes others feel sick
To him not even his children do stick
Strange that he could easily be pleased
If his hunger for praise could be appeased
Among locals, he is called a bore
His new entry, they sorely deplore
If you have such an uncanny neighbor
Will you bear him or totally ignore?
