She never liked this neighborhood.
The view was never right.
She wanted buildings painted bright
with potted plants and flowers.
She wanted eateries that served
her favorite food to go.
He always loved this neighborhood,
his home where he grew up.
He hung out here with all his friends.
They watched the games
and drank some beer
at all their favorite bars.
One day while he was drinking,
she packed her bags and flew.
She saw he was a lazy bird.
His lifestyle wouldn’t do.
She saw no reason to believe
he’d ever change for her.
She’s dancing in Las Vegas now.
She’s saving up a nest egg
to buy buildings painted bright
with potted plants and flowers.
She’ll buy some eateries that serve
her favorite food to go.
