SNIGGER

You're starting to annoy me
So I'd better make it clear
That crossing me's an absolutely
Terrible idea

Perhaps I should be distant
And impassive as Stone Henge
But no, I have my mind fixed
On a horrible revenge

I'll snigger through your letterbox
And ostracise your cat
And then harangue your topiary
I'm good at doing that

I'll tell the local paper
That I've never heard of you
When people ask me how you are
I'll say, "I'm sorry... who?"

I'll sneeze into your litter bins
And gesture at your lawn
You creep, I'll make you sorry
You were ever even born

I'll buy your favourite whisky
Then I'll tip it down the drain
And serve you right for daring
To suggest that I'm insane.

I really do wish I hadn't read this - I've been such a GOOD girl with my stroppy neighbour downstairs. And now THIS! You'll come and visit me when I get dragged off by the bolsheviks, won't you?

Thanks ~m~! And sorry, Weev, I should have remembered how suggestible you are to ideas of random naughtiness. I'll bring fruitcake when I visit.
