Rubbish at his home
For more that 24 i~hours he could not mow.
 He was
Shouting.

He was a miser.
He have five grandchiliren and hasn't see~ny- of them
He did not need to live lik tAat.
He has got thousand ~f pounds stashed awa~y in
 Building societies and
Rubbish at his home

 All told him to clean
Clean up his act
But he won't
 Stop
Hoarding
Rubbish at his home
