Neighbours with yapping dogs

 

Neighbours with yapping dogs


 We’ve all got them!

Neighbours with yapping dogs

aka selfish people who live next door.

Concrete Mixers going at 3.00am

Teenager’s Drumkit on at 10.00 pm

They’ve discovered ‘the recorder’

I wish I lived over the border

In hell and high-water trust ‘y bobol drws nesaf i sarnu pethau.'

Love thy Neighbour has been scratched out of my Bible

replaced by ‘Revenge is mine’ sayeth the Lord.

You can’t argue with that if they create discord?

Who keeps a chihuahua or Yorkshire terrier to repel burglars?

the thief would take the ribbon from its head.

No, until I hear different in a court of law

I’ll think they bought it just to give me lock jaw.

I’m simmering with resentment

My passive aggression knows no bounds

You wait till I get my hands on the necks of those hounds

A whimper turns to a snivel turns to baying wolf like sounds.

Me and my cat are in here counting out the pounds.

We’ve saved up you see to buy a tree

It’s one of these AI Robots, Amazoned from Japan.

It stands in the garden looking like a bonsai

When next door’s yapping dog decides to take a wee

the roots wrap themselves around said dog

 rubbing its face and paws in their own created bog.

Next door’s yapping dogs are hushed and silent now

while the AI tree and cat take a bow.


‘y bobol drws nesaf i sarnu pethau.'

the people next door to ruin things
