My Neighbor, the Psycho Madman

He apparently has nothing to live for,        
Does drugs when he has the money.        
As soon as he gets some money        
It goes straight into dope.        
He's a slave to drugs but he likes the bondage.        
Making no effort to break free.        
Isn't that the definition of an "uncle tom"?        
Someone who likes being enslaved?        
If so the young tall Larry is an UT.        
         
The owner of Bundy the pitbull          
had to go to jail, so he asked Victoria to feed him        
So when Bundy busted out of his cage,        
Where did he go - Victoria's of course.        
There he killed Billionaire,the chu-wawa          
that Victoria,Larry's mother, loved.        
Anyway, Larry now has custody of Bundy.        
         
He told me not to feed him,(which i did covertly)        
"It's not just you, Joe, I don't want anybody being friendly to the dog.        
You see, i want to turn him into an attack dog."        
I explained that its a non sequitur to say my feeding him(he's starving)        
keeps Bundy from becoming an attack dog.        
         
I kept on slipping some dog food to Bundy on the sly,        
But Larry was waiting for me on last Friday.        
Bundy whined as i was coming by (begging me to come).        
Dummy, don't you know you don't to beg, I'm on your side!        
The whining alerted Larry who comes out of the trailer with a baseball bat.        
If you feed him just one more time, I'm gonna kill him.        
i can't hit you, Joe, because you're an old man,        
so I'll take it out on the dog for what you do.        
Then he hits the dog with the bat -  and kicks it for good measure.        
"I don't like to be disrespected,I hope you finally realize that now.        
Which is what you're doing when you feed the dog.".        
(For when Larry brings him into the house, he poops all over the floor.        
 Larry blames me for that)        
OK, all right, you convinced me, I tell Larry,- i won't feed him anymore.        
Of course, I could call "Animal Control" and report the abuse.        
That step awaits my future decision - but they may do nothing.        
In the meantime Bundy is a whipping-boy, taking the blows meant for me.        
How many other people does Larry wants to hurt?        
How many punishments will Bundy, the canine Christ figure receive        
As  a convenient substitute for the people mad Larry will like to kill?    
   
PS: yes,a week later, I called Animal control. They came by yesterday.    
Larry then comes to my front door,    
demanding $300 for "insulting" him by telling on him.    
I'd like to move away. But the two cheap motels in this town are full.    
I have a truck load of stuff - which I'll have to leave behind.
