An Unwanted Guest
An Unwanted Guest
Morning, noon, and night you hang around,
at our house you can always be found.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner you heartily partake
helping yourself to the choicest goodies we make.
On our recliner you relax for hours recalling bygone days;
and we’re sick and tired of all your repeated tales.
Your stale jokes we’ve heard them all before,
so take your gossips with you and go.
I’m sorry that your husband ran off with his girlfriend;
but poor guy, by then he was probably at his wit’s end,
listening to you gripe about your pet peeves again.
Moaning and groaning about every malady under the sun,
your complaints drive us crazy by the time you’re done.
I’m not trying to be mean, please believe
however, when you do get ready to leave,
we’re all worn out and quite relieved.
We’ve tried every hex to make you disappear,
but they haven’t worked cause here you are.
Please, Mrs. Busybody, please go home,
you’ve overstayed your welcome!
