my neighbor<\/span>
 <\/span>

my neighbor<\/span>
is<\/span>
the perfect<\/span>
neighbor.<\/span>
 <\/span>
she runs<\/span>
the neighborhood watch.<\/span>
 <\/span>
her yard<\/span>
is always mowed,<\/span>
her flowers<\/span>
are always in bloom.<\/span>
 <\/span>
she greets everyone<\/span>
with a smile.<\/span>
 <\/span>
she sits<\/span>
on her porch and<\/span>
knows everything<\/span>
that goes on.<\/span>
 <\/span>
she walks her dog<\/span>
and talks to anyone.<\/span>
 <\/span>
in fact,<\/span>
she is walking her dog<\/span>
as i write.<\/span>
 <\/span>
there she is, right<\/span>
in front of<\/span>
my house.<\/span>
 <\/span>
her dog<\/span>
just took a dump<\/span>
on my lawn.<\/span>
 <\/span>
she smiled,<\/span>
 <\/span>
waved to me,<\/span>
 <\/span>
and walked away.<\/span>
 <\/span>
the perfect<\/span>
neighbor,<\/span>
 <\/span>
indeed.<\/span>
