THE BOER NEXT DOOR

THE BOER NEXT DOOR
♂
You could have knock me down with a feather
Would you believe it, living next door to a Boer
A real live Afrikaan
And me a Jamaican
Needless to say, we didn’t see eye to eye
My music was greeted with thumps and bangs on the wall
My children they couldn’t play out at all
♂
Stone the crow
One night I got so low,
I decided that one of us had to go
♂
In a rage I contemplate,
The force with which one could hate
Without though or hesitation
Filled with anger and grim determination
♂
I went next door to confront the Boer
Picking up something heavy,
I lobbed it through a window
Blind with rage I kicked in the front door
♂
Back to the window and smashed it some more
Violence is not the way- there always a price to pay
But its one they understood
For, the very next day the boring Boers fled
Enough said.
