Odd Neighbor Poem by Kassem Oude

Odd Neighbor



She resides within my home
One wall between our rooms
Salutes sometimes in random
Comes to talk as desire looms

Most home expenses we share
Yet all are of my own purse
She buys deluxe food rare
She eats them alone with mirth

Her income almost equals mine
Though I support five others
Wife ill of diabetes half blind
Two kids students the younger

She soils different utensils
Cleanses barely once a week
Ignores for sisters to fulfill
However her complaints tweak

Dear readers what do you say
For I bare home trouble abroad
One's hands on fire cinders lay
Other flees from duties of abode.
