Wallpapering the Living Room

Wallpapering the living room is a job for many So, we invited our relatives over, in all there were twenty They got glue all over the carpet, it was an enormous mess We got six or seven wallpaper strips up, more or less. The next time we do this, we have to limit the brothers Said the wives, mothers, and unhappy grandmothers. They are running around, doing crazy things goofy and silly. And we will never again invite your Great Uncle Billy. Great Uncle Billy was having a blast telling stories to the boys. He was adding lots of details, and they were making loud noise. Settle down! Yelled the mothers who were doing the work. The kids were laughing their guts out, at stories of Uncle McGurk.

I've done some wallpapering in my time and always warned the onlookers that if they didn't want to increase the depth of their language skills......back off.
