Nosy Neighbor Nuisance

She's "concerned" that my mess is immense
"I work late." Is my latest defense
Yes, my yard is a wreck
But IF you must peck
Your big NOSE might get stuck in my fence

So you KNOCKED my troublesome trooper?
Tell ya what you prim party-pooper
I will warn you once more
Poke your head through MY door?
I'll slam it right square on your snooper!

Hey, Tim, have you ever seen the ID channel's series "fear thy neighbor?" really gruesome stuff how people end up killing each other over silly little things. Can you believe people kill each other over such stuff? Good seeing you on this list now. Congrats

Tim, if this is true, I don't blame you for getting mad. We had a neighbor like this once. They are such brats!!

Thanks for the laugh today - I needed that. I have some of the same neighbors.
