Last night

I heard three knocks on my ceiling,

It scared me, because

three knocks on the ceiling is considered a terrible omen.

But then I remembered my upstairs neighbor is

Tony Orlando.

Tony Orlando

is that he is always asking people to take extra steps.

That is what he does.

Tie a yellow ribbon around an old oak tree,

knock twice on the pipe.

But really,

what Tony really needs to do

is pay his damn phone bill.
