# The People Upstairs The people upstairs all practise ballet Their living room is a bowling alley Their bedroom is full of conducted tours. Their radio is louder than yours, They celebrate week-ends all the week. When they take a shower, your ceilings lead. They try to get their parties to mix By supplying their guests with Pogo sticks, And when their fun at last abates, They go to the bathroom on roller skates. I might love the people upstairs more If only they lived on another floor. By Ogden Nash. The image shows two people working out, one male and one female, both are holding dumbbells and are wearing blue t-shirts with the word "Check" on the front in purple. They are on a green lawn with dashes of yellow.
