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.

Author Notes
The picture is of the new Colorbond Fence now erected.*Greystanes is an outer Western suburb of Sydney.
~John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Change of meter for the addition to the poem.
Finally looking like there won't be anymore verses to post.
