Andy DW Poet Rhyme

The nut job next door

Not everyone gets along with their neighbour
A face as hard as a glacier 
From day one they were always rude
Always in a bad mood

It started with her not being able to park
Every time she would make a bad remark 
A single person driving a van
No business or no plan 

A male and female name
I don’t care they are still the same
It doesn’t matter who you decide to be
Your personality is what matters to me

Just because I rent and they own
Doesn’t mean you should sulk and grown
We put up a fence for the paws
No thank you or applause 

One day we had a flash flood
I protected her house from water and mud
While she stood inside on the phone
To the insurance company to have a moan

Not one word of thanks
For propping up the river banks
Dirty, wet, back aching
No pleasantness breaking

They tried to stop a legal right
To a back garden, to spite
A lawyer had to be involved
For the issue to be resolved 

They use our property to dump their builders waste
Leaving my plants displaced
They have no respect for property
And behave improperly 

They scream at anyone parked near 
On a public road, their crisis severe
Any builder or delivery person is their next victim 
The vicious tongue is not restricted

Never an explanation or apology
They just behave like a monstrosity
No excuse nor reason
To be a demon 

No respect for hours of the day
Slamming the door like a display
Knock one knock twice speak a code
All through the night, it’s getting old

The spells they perform and a voodoo chant
Trying to lure and enchant
Speaking to someone who isn’t there
Full conversations in despair

I know it’s not just me they do not like
Their own parents avoid and dislike
They scream at them every visit
For no reason they have hit their limit

Reasoning does not matter for those who choose this
Always an opportunity to be polite and not dismiss
Some people are just not built to be nice 
Mental health can be a factor for their dislikes

Whatever the problem they need support
Before one day they are in court
I wish them the best in their health journey 
It won’t be me who ends up on the gurney
