Where Granny Lives

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?

no it isn't

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
