People are knock-knocking
on the door.
Too bad it’s the neighbors
up one floor.
You would think that
after one hour,
all their expectations
would finally sour.
It’s past two and people
need to sleep.
I’d really rather be
counting sheep.
Now someone is beep-beeping
their horn.
My patience is really
getting worn.
There are new sounds
that I’ve never heard.
That knock-knocking
has really gotten absurd.
It’s three now and
I get up at four.
That’s all I can take,
can’t take no more.
I’m just going to get up
out of bed.
Go upstairs and
kick them in the head.
I guess now I might
as well stay up.
Head for the coffee,
have myself a cup.
When I got to work
the boss was mad.
Wanted to talk about
the night he had.
I made it to my desk,
can’t take no more.
Someone started knock-knocking
on my door.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
