There once was a poet named Neumann
whose bile went as white as albumen.
He emailed a missive,
his ire derisive,

A feeble old woman lives down the hall,
we chat on occasion.
I indulge her constant kvetching of youthful occupants invasion,

Aside from the obvious – eating!

When doing laundry in a room
That’s shared by many others,
You can’t pretend no rules apply, 
Like if you had your druthers.

Who never utters a complaint
Though there are those who seem to thrive
On kvetching to keep them alive.

And do not ask about the food!

A shirtless man wearing low-riding jeans
Two women buxom and bold, stalking,

In the soon to be future
they built an A.T.V.
