And shares with them the latest fads
She shows them how
To milk a cow
So they all know how to be dads...

That I live in a richest neighbourhood,
When I saw a neighbour's tiny dog,
Dressed  much better than me, during a walk....

There was a boy in my neighbourhood,
Nothing he seemed to understood.
He was rather dull.
He was much like an empty skull
But, brilliance caught up with adulthood....

The wife can interpret wet dreams
(The neighbours all knew that, it seems)
They all think its grand
That she'll lend an hand
Whilst teenagers research X-tremes...

It's you're friendly neighbourhood word master
Rhymes just keeps flowing, avoiding disaster
Days without lims
Are an utter sin
Have I told you my career was a belly dancer...

As they say, there goes the neighbourhood
A nefarious group of seniors, up to no good
Swearing and cursing
Belching and coercing
Causing distress for all the young girliehood...

bricks can shed so much light on a neighbourhood 

in fact much more than the windows ever could

Met at the jungle border
A rough neighbourhood
Who's death-defying claimed him
By a lion's roar.
Protective of its own grounds
Just across this street
That heard fearsomely alike
A cat does encore....

There once was a daddy from Jersey City
Who's little girl was ever so pretty
The neighbourhood boys
Wanted to play with her toys
Made sure there was moolah in their bank called a piggy...

It's another fine day in the neighbourhood
Enjoy it while we have it, appreciate the good
Three cheers and olay
This extraordinary day
We'll soon freeze our bums off in a parka with hood...

Hello, it's your friendly neighbourhood silly
Sure proud to put a buzz in your frilly
It's my job, don't get paid
Rhymes with layed and made
Which shall I choose, might even choose willy...

I am sick of eating those huge orange gourds cooked in pies -
And my little garden is choc-a-bloc with pumpkins this year;
But when carved out, they are the talk of the whole neighbourhood.

Live in a very quiet neighbourhood of Newmarket
Crime is non existent 'cept the store's huge markups
Seems like a crime to me
Starvation is a way out it seems
Want to lose weight but not destroy my carcass...

My dog went for a pee, came back wearing a big smile
Some kids had painted him, now he looks like a crocodile 
Those neighbourhood kids
Need a bonk on their lids
Or a thrashing to make their hoohas misfire!!!...

Houses on parade
Guards to civilisation
A great divide between man and space
Escapism opposed to reality

Sentinels stand at either end of street
Neighbourhood watch
Dangerous tongues gossip
Prepare for another onslaught...

A young lass in our neighbourhood named Jenna Taylia 
Received many male requests to visit her semitrailer
She complied mucho times
Guys went out of their minds
Most emerged looking happy but a whole lot paler...

crows collecting twigs

                              peppering the neighbourhood -

My Tomcat drives me up the walls
On neighbourhood kitties he calls
Sired more than one kitten
With sex he is smitten
He’s gonna be losing his balls!

Trim the bushes
So that
It's not too high
Like hiding yourself inside a jail
Trim the bushes
So that
It's not too high
For love and help to rush in
In times of critical hours
Trim the bushes
So that
You can see
The bustle and rustle of your lovely neighbourhood...
