*annoyed*

*JACKHAMMER*

I'm sick of all those neighbours who
Just want a chat and step into
My house, have they got nothing else to do?

It has been far long overdue
For Residence Efstratiou
To break off from the rest of Zografou

So I began to excavate
All round the house I dwell in
To thoroughly eliminate
Unwanted guests and karens

Is this extreme preventive measure a bit radical?
I ask while shovelling up gravel, silt and silica
A blissful private penetralia
Would be practical; if not amical

I'm scooping way below the roots
At depth well over forty foot
A zap! Cut off the neighbour's power, oops

When rain comes, this will be a moat
Can only reach me with a boat
Come near, my crocodile will snap your throat

I'll call upon the government
Asking a state secession
If monks of Athos got consent
Why can't I have my nation?

Domestic entity of type geopolitical
The renovated bathroom upstairs is the capital
With me for ruler (ceremonial)
Like the Vatican, within Attica

I miss the ease of stepping for essentials with my car
Can't even bring across food items with a shopping cart
Will have to order them all online
Pay by debit card, or by credit card
