Best Neighbor Poems

‘Hey stomach,’ says anus,
‘Would you cut the crap.’
“It’s not me,’ stomach says;
‘I won’t take the wrap.

It’s what they’re eating,
So blame teeth and mouth.
I’m innocent,’ says stomach,
‘For that filth down south.’

Brain has a good laugh
At organ expenses,
By prodding infighting
Over false offenses.

‘Are you kidding me,
You two dumb...

This neighbor I begged to be family
Is back on crack
He is having fits
I had to call off my new job
He doesn't get it.
He just said I can leave in a fit.
I knew this day would come
I pray for a housing miracle this Christmas season. 

I...

This boy lived down the street from me, his name I will not say,
He followed me to school, and picked on me everyday,
He'd trip me down the hallway, and would pull my hair in class,
The teachers never believed me, because he never got caught in...

ANGEL NEIGHBOR

When I think of goodness and unusual presence
I recall just one name – Mr. Germaine
Our next door neighbor, just a common man
Just a man, but one fulfilling some celestial plan
In those childhood years we never knew him to anger
But always with a smile, and...

To love thy neighbor
as thyself, demands self-love...
Is that not selfish ~
If I am not for myself
who will be for me?

Friend
Funny stories
Great personality
A hilarious memory
Her name was Vi, and she was the best fun!
Alzheimer’s took her brain over.
Dreaded disease for her.
Changed everything

He came night after night.
I don’t know how long he favored me
in such an appreciative manner, but I
was most pleased when I realized it.                     

We...

Love Your Neighbor As Yourself!

I knew of a Christian who
made an assumption.
Regarding his neighbor, he believed 
a false presumption.
He slandered his neighbor… Yes he did!
He didn't “agree” with how this neighbor lived.
His neighbor was a Christian too.
But he didn't treat him as a 
Christian should...

Scripture asks us to love our neighbor.
But some think love comes without labor.
It's something we speak,
Not something we seek.
A fine cup of wine with no flavor.

Declarations of love make me laugh.
Without knowledge such words are just chaff.
You say I love you,
But that isn't true,
'Til you've...

Many days have we lived together,
O John, the chief cook!
I am weary of hunger,
And you have food and water.
Are you truly my neighbor?
Then give me a morsel.

Many months have we known each other,
O Peter, the great tailor!
I am walking around naked,
And you have clothes and...

I espied him in his designer suit
Such a looker, he’s REALLY cute

This morning he waved and shot me a grin
Oh how I would love a date with him

Think I’ve managed to catch his eye
Got my heart set on a handsome guy

I knocked on his door...

We had some neighbors with a sign, “Do Not Disturb.”
They’d vanished when a moving van came to the curb.

How thrilled we were to learn new folks were moving in.
Would they make that old house look neater than a pin?

Originality they did not lack!
They started painting...

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...

Jasper’s tale of woe, he tended to completely embellish,
Until these stories got worrisomely-gruesome, some even hellish.
Agnes, his wife and he were no longer invited to parties, yours or mine.
His wife was relieved, but Jasper, the story-embellisher started to whine.
Maybe we need to be a bit...
