Neat

A neighbor died, quite unexpected;
All who knew him were affected.
Though our paths did rarely cross,
Neighborly, I feel the loss.

This is what I overheard
As building workers spread the word:
“The nicest guy you’d ever meet
And his apartment was so neat!”

I told my husband, when I die,
With this one wish, please do comply –
Do not, despite how they might press,
Let people in to see this mess!
