MENACE TO MY EARS!

I have a noisy neighbor; a menace to my ears!!
She is exasperating, and drives me close to tears!
She's in the next cubicle, her voice is extra loud;
when I'm all through with fussing, I am not very proud

of my unpleasant language--I'm not a model friend,
but when she starts her raving, her chatter never ends!
I must get her to stop this, for her health and for mine!
Sanity's in jeopardy; we haven't got much time!!

She's a menace to my ears; I I cannot take much more!
When we are all at our desks, she's heard through the closed door
of the entire office! Someone will call the cops!
We can't get any work done--oh please, just make her STOP!!
