Limerick Seven
The Sympathetic One
A neighbour of mine likes to yell
At his son, who he must put through hell.
And our walls are so thin
That we’re caught in the din,
So my wife and I suffer as well.
◼︎
His dog also poops in my yard. It's paradise.

It had a quaint porch, being swept by Granny Bloche. She wore simple attire: blue jeans and an ankle-length skirt. The orange sun was starting to set as Chris stepped onto the porch. ‘’Where am I?’’ Chris asked.
