Poetic Thursday: The Neighbor

Thursday means poetry here on These Days.  Each week, Pam and her kitties, Teddy and Angel Sammy, at Two Spoiled Cats, host Poetic Thursday. This is the cute photo that Pam gave us last week for our inspiration.

And here’s my poem:

The Neighbor

He’s not my grandpa; he’s my neighbor and friend.
And each time he sees me, he starts to grin.

He hurt his leg, so he has to ride.
We pretend we’re racing, side by side.

He tells me about when he was a kid,
and all the fun, silly things he did.

And then, more stories about his life:
what cars he had, and how he met his wife.

He lives next door, and I sure am glad,
’cause he’s the best neighbor I’ve ever had.
