They're really big fans of Stomp. Or perhaps they're in Stomp and are just, er, rehearsing.

perhaps like me, they have no feet, and their hobby is throwing around marble furniture

Perhaps a thoughtful holiday gift of wall-to-wall carpet is in order.
Or at least you can start leaving those coupons from Walt's Rug Mart on their doorstep... step, step, thUD, stomp.

Are your neighbors lesbians? If so, they may well be wrestling. Ask if you can watch.

Erotic lesbians?

I think it's a fine use of repetition, particularly in the third stanza. Perhaps add a line involving someone hitting the ceiling with a broomstick and screaming.

From my years in the service I can tell you that this is plainly Morse Code. It's been a while but I believe it roughly translates as "We are two erotic wrestling lesbians who stupidly raised a Bengal Tiger in our bathtub and now he thinks we are ham."

This poem is hilarious.
Funny that someone mentioned lesbians. I do live below 2 lesbians, and I hear the stomping, pounding, and crashing noises all hours. Is there a connection between lesbianism and noise-making? Are they naturally inclined to loose their balance & fall down alot?
BTW, the lesbians above me are pretty ugly, and I would cringe to watch them wrestle.
