The Elephant Above My Head

There is a man in the apartment above my head
Who moves like an elephant with feet made of lead.

I imagined him weighing three thousand pounds
With muscles of steel dropping bowling balls all around.

It seems that he rarely sleeps.
His constant movement awakens my Peeps.

Doors slamming, bathtub running, and people laughing
While the bass is softly rattling.

My restful sleep is often disturbed as
Shouting, screaming, and stomping makes me quite perturbed.

I once caught a glimpse of this noisy neighbor.
When you see him you would not expect that kind of behavior.

Tall and thin with reddish brown hair
Who walks so quickly as if there isn’t a minute to spare.

To see this young looking male, one couldn’t tell
He just happened to be The Neighbor From Hell.
