Guest Poem — My Neighbour's Weird Things

A blog post by Albert Semple

Another poem I spotted on social media that I had to ask the author if I could share. This one is by Mr Uku who seems to have the same obsession with rhyme and metre as myself, so I thought other blog readers would enjoy it too.

When my creepy old neighbour was finally arrested The people all gathered round, quite interested To see what was found in that late night police sting So here are a few of my neighbour’s weird things. Files full of drawings of animals kissing Boxes of photos of kids who’ve gone missing Jars filled with dead birds and bat’s severed wings These are a few of my neighbours weird things Bottles of poison to quickly end lives Drawers filled with blood spattered, rusty old knives A chest filled with noses and fingers with rings These are a few of my neighbour’s strange things. An old witch’s cauldron for mixing up potions A rope and a basket with bottles of lotion A pit full of children all tied up with strings These are a few of my neighbour’s vile things. When they took him In that police sting He was foaming mad But then I remember my neighbour’s odd things And now I don't feel so bad
