Misery
Life was going swimmingly,
Until they pulled up outside.
A six man chainsaw gang,
As I reach for the cyanide.
My day off down the crapper,
As a neighbour's hedge they trim.
Slicing swath through vast jungles,
With the odd tree to lose a limb.
Talk about a raucous racket,
Peace and calm bygone words.
Must admit they're doing well,
Already hacked off two thirds.
Alas such noisy bloody devils,
Even with windows firmly shut.
And then a murderous mulcher,
Joins dinful chorus as they cut.
I know they're doing a job,
And all doing it rather swell.
I'm resigned to kismet's fate,
To endure this cacophony hell.
But finally there is a God,
As they pack up and leave.
Or will destiny bid all return,
After a lunch hour reprieve...

🤣🌹❤️🌹Ohh noo no peace for you bonny lad 🌹💕🌹
Thanks Jill and all that was missing this morning, irritatingly noise wise, was a rusty iron gauntlet being slowly dragged down a never ending chalk board, but thankfully they didn't muck about and were off soon enough.
And what ear wax?🤣
Greg many thanks for your pinning and full honours kindness sir.
So glad you enjoyed reading it and thanks again my kind friend.
Jim thanking you kindly for your gracious five stars bestowment and this did happen this morning.
Lets just say I wasn't a happy poetry bunny and any expletives were quickly drowned out!!
Hi Shaun,
This is a brilliantly written piece about ones peace being shattered by your neighbors trimming hedges and trees. I love the humor and the rhymes flow so effortlessly. I'm also a big fan of Bruce Campbell from the Evil Dead. Good choice of photo.
Top marks. Thoroughly enjoyed - Syd
Hello Syd and many thanks to you for being so generous in your comments.
And this actually happened yesterday and on my solitary day off and I wasn't a happy poetry bunny but these guys were just doing a job and they did it well and quickly.
And glad to hear you're a big Bruce Campbell fan for that makes two of us and that guy is just a scene stealer in everything he appears in.
He's just out there and great to see in action.
And I'll be honest, usually I'm the late reply master clearly deserving of some Cosmo glittering golden award or my head on a silver platter to satisfy any disgruntled members, for the truth is I rarely visit my poems after upped and especially being zonked after a long day at work and sometimes doing a double shift most days, for we're so short staffed at the museum where I'm lucky to work, thanks to that damned bloody virus creating bloody mayhem.
Am I ranting?
Anyway thanks Syd and I'll be visiting your poems tonight and tomorrow night as well.
And Bruce Campbell doesn't take himself seriously no prima-donna or big I am and that's the best way to be in life and poetry.
Just take it or leave it.
Thanks again Syd and see you soon and respect to and I'm now following you.
Well Shaun you describe in perfect rhythm the torture noise can bring to ones morning. How well you painted the scene, I could feel you purging out your frustration. I hope they don't return :)
Gwen many thanks and this happened exactly at the moment I was reading and catching up on YOUR poems that morning.
They didn't come back and fair do's they were pretty quick clearing that jungle and they didn't come back on my day off.
Anyway, I hope all is well with you and the little one and back tomorrow night a bit earlier to read more of you and catch up, for I now at last have someone, a good and honest man, to cover for me at work.
See and read you soon my friend and thanks for al the uplifting and caring moral support.❤️
Shaun!! Hahaha...the first stanza, the image and the title I thought it was going to be quite a darkened take...but the annoying gardeners....it really made me giggle (sorry) I thought it was brilliant...I would have been disgruntled on my day off too!!
noisy buggers.

Lorna, Dear Lordie Lord you found this one!!!
Thanks for making the journey and superb comments and this was wrote off the cuff on that day and it was literally get the earplugs out.
Guess we've all been there when a bloody racket kicks off.
And all that was missing was Motorhead's Ace of Spades cranked up!!
Thanking you kindly for making the trip here and glad you enjoyed other people's misery!!!🌝
You schadenfreude !!! :) x.
