Come On In

I like some people much better than others.
Whiners – stay away.
Complainers, gripers, grouches grumpy grousers – no thanks.
Of course, if they are relatives I tend to put up with them a bit.
But not one second longer than I have to.
If you show up at my door and I like you, you may come in.
Be aware, however your shoes have to be put on the refrigerator.
I have a five-foot-long puppy who loves to chew shoes.
I like dogs better than any people, but you are welcome
As long as you do not suggest obedience school for me or the pup.

Marvelous! I couldn't agree more. People can be soooo annoying, and those I find so, I try to stay far away from.

I am so anti-social until I want to be social, then watch out!
