The Neighbor's Party

Sounds of laughter from across the way
Another victory celebration under the stars,
I hear the lovely exclamations of jubilation
My neighbors certainly know how to play.

I could be perturbed by the noise, I suppose,
Or, angrily, even raise a ruckus of my own
But, had I been invited to share in the revelry,
I fear I wouldn’t have had the proper clothes.

Laughing with you, Alexis. The twist just came to me. My Deb was always saying she didn't have anything to wear. She had closets full of clothes! Me, only a small closet. She loved clothes.

It's what's beneath the clothes that matters. I think I heard these words spoken before. Have your own party, Milt! Yahoooo!!...ab

There you go! I'll bet your wife said, "I just don't have a thing to wear!" Mine did.
