Complaints About a Squatter
For sleepy drafts Sleepy Mission: Eavesdropping challenge
"I was waiting to get my bloodwork done and happened to overhear this conversation. I took some liberties with it for poetic flair, but the gist remains intact."
Complaints About a Squatter
She shouldn't even be there
She doesn't care
She's only there for the money
Don't laugh this isn't funny
+++++
She doesn't help with anything
All she wants is the furniture and the rings
She thinks that she's entitled
But she's just living in denial
+++++
She won't help with the bills
She's always on the town looking for cheap thrills
She spends money like it's a joke
I wouldn't be surprised if she's broke
+++++
I know she’s his daughter
But let’s face it she’s a squatter
+++++
They just called my name
I gotta go
Love you sweetheart
Tell the kids I say hello
+++++
This poem is for sleepy drafts Sleepy Mission...
With Love, RHC ❤️

Great job congratulations
Haha! I live for this shit! Amazing writing! Nice ears too!😂😘❤️🔥
Nicely written. Made me feel a bit sad but also woww made me guffaw at the way people think!
Great rhyme for this challenge… so sad to hear though.
Very well done. I forgot about this one!
Oooo, this was juicy! Hahahahahaha. Loved this gossip turned poem!
I like that this is from a one sided conversation you overheard. I was chuckling and shaking my head at the same time Well done
So much from just one side of a conversation. Step-mother-step-daughter relationships can be tricky--but so entertaining with all the drama!
Ooooooof, well done, Rick. You took this overheard moment and elevated it to poetry, wonderfully. 💗 The things we overhear some days! Thank you so, so much for writing and sharing this piece with the mini-challenge, Rick!! 💕💓
well done!!
Sorry you had to hear this....my own life has enough drama...I want to wear earplugs when out
