nosey freaking neighbors.

this is a high functioning society
with high functioning people
and home owners associations
playing peer patrol
to remind you to Keep up with the Joneses
while you catch up on Kardashians
on your 50 inch flat screen tv
you hear your daughter sweetly humming
either her 1,2,3s or just learned 'abcs'

She's high functioning too
If she's functioning at all
After you draw the curtains
and bang her head against the walls

This a high functioning ambulance
as it races through twists and curves
to answer a call that came
from that street over there
where every house looks the same

This is a high functioning law firm
that's why you'll get off quick, no big deal
Oops, I almost forgot to mention -
please don't detract any attention
from our wonderful community's curb appeal

because a home is not home without a garden
it's really just a house.
