Next door neighbor.
The cowboy next door
with the blazing red hair.
I remember when you
came across your yard and mine
to tell me I was rude for eating
in front of you.
I still didn't share my ice cream.
Your sister squealed on you,
you ate dry cat food out of the kitty bowl.
And only believed in Santa
for a couple years,
while I held out longer.
Covered head to toe in freckles,
I was so jealous, I had so few.
What happened to you?
Last I heard you were a musician
playing in some band.
All the best, all the best.
