Robert W Service - My NeighborsRobert W Service - My Neighbors
Work rating: Low


To rest my fagged brain now and then, When wearied of my proper labors, I lay aside my lagging pen And get to thinking on my neighbors; For, oh, around my garret den There`s woe and poverty a-plenty, And life`s so interesting when A lad is only two-and-twenty. Now, there`s that artist gaunt and wan, A little card his door adorning; It reads: "Je ne suis pour personne", A very frank and fitting warning. I fear he`s in a sorry plight; He starves, I think, too proud to borrow, I hear him moaning every night: Maybe they`ll find him dead to-morrow.
