Your Friendly Neighborhood A-hole(sorry)

by Twan - Aries

hey!
hes the guy you see who walks down the street
doesn't smile but sneers at everyone he meets
don't want to swing by his house on halloween night
he puts razor blades in his apples, what a shame, with all your might
you wish he would just disappear and never return 
its not right, but thats the way it is
you see him chasing kids away from his house all the time
"what an asshole" you mutter over and over again
house dark at christmas time not a decoration in sight
or on the 4th of july not one single light
mike check, do you want to talk or not 
an oar to him, he thinks all kids smoke pot
you think he developed this but hes always been this way
or as long as you can remember, every other day
he gives you that stare when you cross his path
you know, that angry glare, so you do the math
like you were dog shit on a stick, facing his wrath
as you grow up you hate him more and more, without a chance to laugh
hey?
does it matter
that he's your grandfather??

Reason for writing:

    bad joke. my grandfather is not like this at all, he's generous and loving and all those good things. but you have people like this in all neighborhoods, right??
