a note left in the letterbox:
"Tidy your garden
you are a bad neighbour."
I didn't have time to pich up the rubbish
everyone threw in my garden.
I worked all day and partied all night
with a woman who liver sixty miles away.
I barely had time to feed and walk my dogs
let alone pick up trash
and answer the increasingly threatening letters
from the bank and the ex.
Honestly, the neighbours stayed anonymous
except the one who stood in his garden with a hammer
and said: "Rachel is a funny name for a bloke."
