My Neighbourhood - Stephen A. Roberts

The great and the good
Live in my neighbourhood
But it's not genteel
It's rather down at heel
They simply haven't got the time
To get their gardens into line

They will never be seen
Giving their windows a good clean
They'll be lounging on the sofa
In front of Big Brother
Watching D listers no-one knows
Or the latest cookery show

Instead of mowing their lawn
They watch property show porn
Feeding their faces with junk food
To Judge Rinder they are glued
And before the programme ends
They'll have Facebooked all their friends

No, they will never find the vim
To give their hedges a good trim
The real world's such a bore
Full of unexciting chores
They'd rather surf the web you see
With one eye watching crap TV
