Yeeks, John! Are you suggesting my oeuvre is not well known throughout the world?!
Thanks to all of you for your reasoning on the already-published issue. You guys should have been medieval theologians. (Maybe you were).
Here's my entry:
NEW NEIGHBOUR
Greetings, neighbour. We’re pleased to welcome you.
We hope you like our fine community.
It’s quite exclusive. What about that view!
The grounds are always tended carefully:
the well-kept lawns, the shrubbery and flowers,
the shaded paths and lanes. Just look around—
We're sure you'll like this neighbourhood of ours.
It's quiet too. You'll barely hear a sound,
situated on this cul-de-sac.
Not many children. Most of us are old.
Your guests are leaving? Don't worry, they'll be back
before you know it. Are those handles gold?
And is that lovely casket cherrywood?
Welcome, welcome, to the neighbourhood!
