I had an unexpected visitor today
A young man was at the door
The nice young couple that lived here
Had not been seen for a fortnight or maybe more
A do-gooding representative
Called in to say
They’d been watching the area with interest
But no sight of them had been seen that way
They didn’t think they would have moved
As there’d been no removal men that came
One day they were there as usual
Then nothing was the same
He didn’t ask me outright
As to what I happened to be doing here
But skirted around the question
As if he didn’t dare
Maybe he was worried
That I done the family in without a care
Taken over their lives
And disposed of them … who knows where
Eventually he had to ask
To uncover the truth of the situation
He seemed a little disappointed
To find out they were simply on vacation
I know this world is full of crime
And that we no longer feel safe in bed
But if you’re in the neighbourhood watch
Please check the facts before anything official is said.
