Apartment Singing

The walls of an apartment are off times thin.

Apartment Singing

Sir, She doesn’t like your singing,. And she knows that you’re the source,
And if I don’t make you shut up, she’s gittin a divorce,

I think I must have I told her ,a hundred times or more,
Dear it’s not his singing , it’s your ears that’s really poor,

You can’t be calling 911, every time he sings a song,
He ain’t beatin on his dog, it’s his wife that sings along,

It ain’t the ringing in your ears, that’s so really bad,
It’s their high pitched hound dog warble, that really makes you mad,

And his singing didn’t really, peel the enamel off your teeth,
Or wither all the fir limbs, on your Christmas wreath,

That Marshal weren’t too happy, with those charges that you made,
He said “there was no offence, that would justify a raid,

Go out to a movie, and take a little breather,
I don’t wanna lock’em up, cause I can’t stand them either”,

Think you finally found an answer ,got an amplifier on loan?,
You’re gonna counter act his singing, with some singing of your own,

Hey now this is double jeopardy, My God , I don’t need more,
It’s a divorce for mental cruelty now , that I’m applying for!

I like those original lines like, "peel the enamel off your teeth." While I sensed a bit of ironic real life experience with thin walls, I didn't find this one creating laughter down the halls.

What might've been more excruciating had that hearing gone amok, would be the screeching of fingernails on the chalkboard, heard three classrooms down.

Come to think of it, I was forced, couple of times to share a classroom with another professor teaching another course. There was a heavy plastic divider that was pulled between the two halves of the room. I found it very difficult to teach my class with the other guy booming his lecture on the other side of that so-called soundproof curtain.

Hey, it could be worse, like couples fighting, or someone playing drums.
