Another night of constant rambling
Starts at ten and then the ambling
Back and forth with boots and heels
Now I’m sure my fate is sealed.
And how many live up there?
Not that I really care.
It’s just the lack of sleep that matters
No quiet quilters or old tatters
Noisy, young and full of pep
Running up and down the steps
Outside my door and up above
One quiet night I would love.
Another vacuum at one and two
Could I just move in with you?
Pounding, then I guess they’re through
Off to work in cars more than two
A final insult are headlights
Into my darkness, oh so bright.
I might as well give up this rant
Stop this “neighbor”? I just can’t!

Oy! These people are unaware oafs, Cheryl. How about you write them a nice letter explaining the impact their habits have on your getting rest and asking if there is some way it can be worked out jointly? You’ve probably tried that… 😉 xoM

Nope but I did report to the management I need a repair and added a short note at the end. Mild, hope it gives an answer.

Most of what I write is fiction. I wish this was.

I’m going to start reading all your writings as fiction because to have this sort of thing happen night after night is not the sort of no-fiction story I want

Different product but that’s what our old ads looked like until colour came and they made everything in black and white except the vegemite girl’s rosy cheeks.

I believe it’s got vitamin C in it. Back before salt was the evil thing it gets made out to be today Vegemite was considered a healthy sandwich spread.

The funny part of the show was the V product had a lot of alcohol, so take after take she got more drunk. The long version is hilarious.

Ah ok, I remember the silliness that ensued when it was discovered how many kids medicines and stuff had alcohol in them. Sheesh how else are parent suppose to get their kids to sleep if they aren’t drunk?

Back in the sixties, I know, tired of hearing about it?? Our friends used to drug their kid with Paregoric in their milk bottle at night so they could go to the restaurant next door to us.

I didn’t have one for long apparently and our kids have spent more time playing with them over the years than using them.

Well you should have been more specific instead of that uneven statement. Have mercy on me. After reading a marathon of posts from impenetrable sources, I would appreciate a liminal attitude.

But being specific is no fun and gives us nothing to banter about. I like it when you think I’m insane and tell me that my actions are stupid, I like to think of it as keeping you sane in your old age 🙂
