There's someone in my brain

Last night someone tried to break into our house.
They got as far as the back shed
and after busting out the lock,
due to our makeshift roller-door-hold-together..
couldnt get any further.
I was in my room wondering if
anyone was thinking about me
like I was thinking about them.
If the burglar had of got in
I wonder now wether
I would have hugged them and
put the kettle on and said
"thanks for choosing me,
it aint an easy neighbourhood for this type of thing,
really, im flattered it was me you chose"
Nah probably not, id most likely
have filmed their approach
towards me with knife in hand
and posted it on reddit.com
under the heading.. "Look at me! look at me!"
As its Wednesday and I like to be seen
on the day
most are looking to hide from.
I'd like to think i'd have swung my cricket bat
at them,
but really I dono, ya know?
Anyway, I reinforced the roller door
but the loneliness can always get in
when it wants,
as my window is open
coz we're too cheap to the pay the
highway robbery cost of air conditioning.
Thieving pricks.
