‘My Neighbourhood’: Poem by Viraj Birla, Apeejay School, Nerul

My neighbour on the right

Is just as quiet as night

Never comes up for a fight

Always helps in plight

My neighbour on the left

Always seems distressed

So we help them rest

Through their worries and stress

My neighbour in front

Hardly ever I confront

But occasionally they will punt

With cricket balls affront

My neighbour right behind

Hardly gives a piece of their mind

Unless I happen to throw a ball blind

And then I get fined

My neighbour on top

Their music never seems to stop

I see them sometimes in a shop

And I think one of them is a cop

My neighbour who lives below

Are senior citizens , so they are slow

But they are so kind it always shows

Whenever I see them on the go

But the best neighbour

Lives across the street

Whose kids I love to meet

Time spent with them is always so sweet

It is truly just like a treat
