Thursday

and another thing


some folks really know how to bring down
the value of a neighborhood.
you know the people;
they are the ones who have a heinous amount
of plastic lawn ornaments.
the ones who leave the half burnt-out christmas lights on...
year round.
the ones who look like they are having a tag sale,
out in front of their house every day...
for the rest of their lives.
i wouldn't want to leave out the super creepy
fans of giant nativity scenes,
sometimes complete with a light up virgin mary
(or two).
the sports fans who have flags,
lights and window coverage announcing
"their team".
they really know how to class up the 'hood!
i would like to thank these types of fun-lovers
for making sure i avoid buying 
a house in a neighborhood
i would have otherwise liked.
great.
