The Creepy Neighbours

by Sankey

The Creepy Neighbours

moved here from Greystanes

And all they have done

Is give us great pains.

The Mum of the mob,

Never had a real job,

Her main occupation

to just lie and sob.

And, now for the third time

we can get no sense

They just won't collude

In fixing the fence.

"Men loved the darkness

Rather than light"

As far as these go

The Scripture is right.

There's no conversation

And no 'howdy do?'

Neighbourly manners

are lesser than few.

There's many a story

Of these could be told

Preserving decorum

I'll not be so bold

Of these creepy neighbours,

I long for the day,

they tire of surroundings

and soon move away.

Why are these so creepy?

Everything's done when we're sleepy,

It all started when they arrived

The youngest but one, most alive.

He wanted to be a friend,

his Mum talked 'abuse'

That was the end.

Daughter ran out in the night

Something not right.

They had a chance.

Now we dis-tance,

Ourselves from this Creepy crew.

Wouldn't you?

Hey! Good News!

The Creepies have 'come around!'

They're finally ready

To do something sound.

Shock! Horror! At last;

We're seeing some sense

Now they are ready

To'a-ssist with the fence.

The not so 'creepy'

Have now made my day,

Removed the old bricks,

And are willing to pay

Their own fair share

Of the new fence cost,

So in one month's time

A new picture I'll post.

This was really becoming a tale

Of how our great hopes might have failed

We thought "There's No Payment

For their legal part"

We thought they'd intended this,

Right from the start.

Now God's answered our prayers

The 'Creepy Rares'

have finally paid our due.

Old Slew foot's rebuked,

his hold has been nuked,

Our faith has prevailed over cares.
