A New Neighbor

I was lazing on my couch, when there arose such a sound

a u-haul announcing a new person in town

I peered through the blinds to see dark glasses and a tan

a weird looking skinny and suspicious sort of man

He concealed his hair with a cap, and opened the old uhaul's trunk

and I was sure he'd be moving nothing but junk

His glasses were tarnished, his cap was askew

He'd never fit in here, in my personal view

The boxes were heavy and he peered around,

but i couldnt be seen helping the new weirdo in town

I was newly single

and I wanted to be cool

my reputation would be damaged if seen helping this fool

So i dimmed my lights and pretended i wasnt home

in hopes he'd keep moving his boxes alone

The boxes looked heavy and he started to struggle

this skinny young man was having some trouble

Then just when i thought the move would never end

the weirdo was able to recruit a new friend

then a second and a third, my neighbors came to his aid

and soon I wondered why I had been afraid

The move was finished and all that was left

was to shake hands with all the new friends he had met

The weird man removed his glasses, hat, and stuck out his hand

and i looked on in astonishment that it wasnt a man

Her hair fell long as she thanked them and grinned

and she shook the hands of my neighbors and invited them in

I looked on through my blinds and all i could see

was the dawning realization that the weird one was me.
