The people upstairs all practise ballet <br />Their living room is a bowling alley <br />Their bedroom is full of conducted tours. <br />Their radio is louder than yours, <br />They celebrate week-ends all the week. <br />When they take a shower, your ceilings leak. <br />They try to get their parties to mix <br />By supplying their guests with Pogo sticks, <br />And when their fun at last abates, <br />They go to the bathroom on roller skates. <br />I would love the people upstairs wondrous <br />If instead of above us, they just lived under us.<br /><br />Ogden Nash<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-people-upstairs/
