Food for thought, the market’s up

This poem's about a couple who

Used to live two floors below me

Me, they'll never forget, how to?

Neither of them got to know me 

 

Didn't know either to save my life 

I didn't feel the urge, see

Couldn't pronounce them man and wife 

I'm not a member of the clergy

 

They wanted to sell their apartment

So they put it on the market 

Received some offers to buy, good money spent

To live above a supermarket 

 

It's been a few months since they've parted

I'm so lonely now, I admit 

Has left me feeling brokenhearted 

I pass my gas when I need to do it*

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

*I've received a few complaints about the language I sometimes use. Not wishing to offend, I replaced two objectionable words in the last line. Astute readers should be able to figure it out.
