Where Granny Lives
13 July, 2004
Author: Ben Franklin
Do you think I like
walking up and down this piss smelling
building?
where already this month two people
have been killed
in,
I am a prisoner in My own Home half the time,
kids shouting abuse at me,
their only as young as nine,
So thats why I get up early to
go down the shops,
to beat the traffic as you might put it,
They get high on the steps
I have to walk past them to get to the tenth floor,
because they have broken the lifts,
One day they had a tiff,
a boy got stabbed,
Is this a place for an 84year old woman
to live?

| Meridian (64.12.116.200) -- Wednesday, July 14 2004, 06:27 pm Golly, you got me there.... So, they must be showing the elderly lady a trifling house for her to live in eh? No.... Elderly, or anyone else shouldn't live in such a place, where a number of things have gone wrong.... I've often seen on the news how some real estates don't even care about the odor, or the half-done cleaning job on the carpets, or cabinets.... Some just want the bread (money) from the renter.... That's sad too.... You've brought a very good point Hushy! Smiles, Meridian |
