My next door neighbor
is a busybody
obsessed about
butting into your life
whether you like it or not...

He talks without speaking
hears without listening
I am not one for long walks
unless he took one off a short pier...

Perhaps he lives
in a most shallow place
addicted to gossip
especially if it about you...

He is a busybody
making things worse than they are
one of the infectious people
who do research into the cause...

A menace to our society
why can't they be put in a special place?
Is there a cure for the busybody?
What causes a busybody to exist?

I have always promised myself
I would never get involved
doing some research of this disease
perhaps by talking about him I have become infected....
