Neighbour's got a new hot tub

Neighbour’s got a new hot tub

Cost six grand from B and Q

It came with white robes, a fridge and a sub

They’re for the chosen few

 

Neighbour’s got a new hot tub

It completely fills his deck

It’s superior to a back rub

And it’s sorted out his neck

 

It’s both rigid and inflatable

With blue lights in LED

It’s necessity’s debatable 

It’s an al fresco luxury

 

It’s big enough for up to 8

In a chlorinated soup

If you order now you’ll have to wait

To entertain your chosen group

 

As he turns it on each night

It beats with a rhythmic throb

The chance of electrocution’s slight

It’s far too big to rob

 

Lights and directional nozzles

Make it stand out from the crowd

It’s the perfect place to get sozzled

And play your music loud

 

It’s got speakers and cup holders

I can hear more splashing sounds

It’s a shame he never told us 

That he’s having friends around

 

Neighbour’s got a new hot tub

It’s changed his outdoor life

He talks about it in the pub

It’s revitalised his wife

 

Neighbour’s got a new hot tub

Its spa bar will never sink

He’s joined the jet set jacuzzi club

And it’s driving me to drink

Thanks for the kind comments, Helene & Stephen - allotment life next, inspiration comes from strange places…

Thanks, RA. On balance, the terriers sound preferable, but....
We have the odd swimming pool around here, but our life seems quite tame compared to you and Keith.

Thanks for the chuckle R A. I needed that! A fun, slice of life poem.

Thank you Keith - it’s a true story, as I’m sure your neighbour’s acquisition is too - our hot tubbing neighbour has now moved on and been replaced by a couple with a pair of very vocal Tibetan Terriers… but that’s another story.

An amusing poem which reminds me of a neighbour's recent acquisition. He has treated himself to an orgasmatron which has been installed in his master bedroom. We frequently hear its distant throbbing sound but it drives the dog crazy.
Thank you,
Keith
