Smiles to how the Creepies helped to To'a-ssist with the fence.

Thanks Gert. This already had all time best but I wanted to share with all of you that missed it. Neighbourliness has also improved since we don't drive anymore, as well.

You are welcome Sankey
Like you I'm delighted when my writing are All Time Best.

Comment from Krissy Abbott

Good

I like this poem. The content is relatable, it tells a story with a happy resolution, and nice job with the rhyming! Keep up the good work. I'd offer advice too, if I had any idea what I was doing.

Interesting, I believe that I have had a neighbor or two like as you have described. I just pray that I haven't come across like this to my neighbors. Well composed. Don

Thanks for coming by. As I think I said elsewhere we are blessed with good neighbours apart from these. And in more recent times of not driving anymore "neighbourliness" has even improved.

Geoff,

Well, that is awesome! Looks like they finally decided to do the right things and share in the work and cost. I feel certain that your good example and patience in dealing with them probably helped influence their decisions and actions.

I did not understand that part about no more verses to post? Thanks!

Robyn the poem kinda "grew." The improved behaviour in coming around for their part of the cost was an addition later. We still don't talk and I don't mind. Thanks for coming along this already had all time best but wanted to share for any who missed it.

I loved this! You really captured the essence of dealing with neighbors. It had me laughing out loud in some parts. And I love how the tide changes at the end. Very nice. Happy writing!

Hi, Geoff,

Boy, have we had a fair share of ornery neighbors. They can certainly be the bane of one's existence.

Who knew bad neighbors were in every country?! I thought the USA had the market cornered on them. LOL.

At least there was a good result.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*,*)

Very good one, Sankey. I am very surprised they put off their creepiness. Yes, God is good!

I like "Old Slew foot's rebuked, his hold has been nuked" Always encouraging to know Satan, outside of Time, is DONE!

A beaut, my friend. It seems based on a real life experience.
I have a new neighbour too, whose help I could use. Their pit bulls are making me choose, between keeping war and peace so here I sit and muse. I love animals but an aggressive pit bull on my land will be met with all the force I can use.

Pit bulls are illegal here. Same with some Staffordshire terriers It is sure based on true experience we love the new fencer we now have. Thanks for reading Bro.

Good use of the abcb and the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with job/sob...light/right...told/bold...night/right...day/pay...cost/post. Good description and alliteration. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

I tried to become a fan and was told I am already a fan. Why didn't this poem come into my PM box. I am not at all happy about that.

I am needing a new fence myself. But it comes out of our pocket. We don't share it with a neighbor. I enjoyed reading your poem. It was fun and had a sense of humor about it.
