My Neighbor
My Neighbor
by Christian Quezada
There’s this guy that lives two houses away ,
He wears a dress shirt and slacks ,
He is a teacher at Columbus Elementary ,
He owns a white pick up truck ,
His house is pretty ,
It’s blue and has an amazing lawn ,
His driveway is all cement ,
No cracks or anything ,
He has a storm shelter ,
He has a nut tree in his backyard ,
He is probably in his 50’s ,
The shirts he wears are always bright ,
Just like the sun ,
He is like a rainbow ,
Because of his shirts ,
His shirts scream out he lives a good life ,
Full of happiness and joy .
