They lasted four months above our bedroom,
Then the resignation letter came at high noon,
Taped to our door, said I can not endure another night,
Of whatever you two are doing, it is not right.
That a human can make those sounds and I have tried earplugs,
I have tried white noise and I have tried drugs,
For sleeping and nothing drowns out what she produces at midnight,
I am moving, congratulations on your sex life, despite.
The upstairs neighbor moved out because of us,
The upstairs neighbor moved out, the fuss,
She makes at peak volume sent a grown man packing his belongings,
The upstairs neighbor moved out, her longings,
Expressed at full throat drove him to a quieter zip code,
The upstairs neighbor moved out, she crowed.
She was proud, she said that is my greatest review ever written,
A man relocated because the smitten,
Sound of me at peak performance was unbearable to witness,
She framed the letter, her fitness,
For social living has always been questionable at best,
The upstairs neighbor moved out, she was blessed.
The new tenant moved in and lasted two months shorter,
She was an older woman who said I ought to order,
You to be quiet but I will not because honestly I am jealous,
That someone your age is that zealous,
She became our friend and she wears earplugs every night at ten,
The upstairs neighbor moved out, she moved in.
