Neighbours

After yesterday’s post I thought I’d lighten the mood with a song.

I was watching The Sound of Music recently and found myself singing along with, “My Favourite Things”. Of course I don’t know the actual words so I made up my own.

I’m not sure I got it quite right to fit with the music but you’ll get the idea.

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

I wonder which other family favourites I can ruin.
