I thought I'd be depressed,
But instead my mind and body
Were happy for a rest.
So I moved to a new apartment
Just made for folks like me;
A "Seniors-Only" hi-rise pad
That fit me to a "T".
Aside from my apartment
Which was cozy as could be,
We had a coffee shop and parlor
And benches 'neath a tree.
We also had a Chapel
And a library down the hall
And Security both night and day
In case that we might call.
Growing old was graceful,
I really felt quite blessed.
But suddenly - it happened!
A something I never guessed!
A Slum Lord bought our building,
Every lock, stock and barrel too,
And now I live in a ghetto,
Thanks to Emmanuel Ku.
He took away our light bulbs
And took away our Guards
And filled our library full of junk
While weeds overgrew our yard.
No janitors or yard help
Our elevators are unkempt
And not a breath of air
Comes through our hallway vent.
So many managers have come and gone
They never stay too long;
And should you ask for Maintenance
They ditto with "they've gone!"
Yes, once I was quite happy,
But now I'm glad time's short,
For Mr. Ku will meet THE JUDGE
And answer Him in Court!
