Analysis of The Grim Reaper Knocking on My Door



Did my lease expire so soon?!
This is an early eviction he implores!
No,No Mr Reaper I replied.
I plan to live up to my full complied.
I beg of you for another chance.
I will make changes to amend.
I stop abusing my home and cherish it ever so.
I will pay my dues and my rent too.
Please Mr. Reaper trouble me no more,
send away your harking crows from my door.
Why don't you go and storm my neighbor's door?!
