Company Coming

They are coming They never do It is a first in a long time I will not focus on the fact That it is their turn The road runs two ways And they have not been here for five years Releasing all disappointment and anger into the wind, I relax and think how much fun we will have. It will be joyous! A great time! They are coming! They are really coming! I will be the hostess with the most-ess. Wait. Does this mean I will have to clean?

I can sympathize... on the "They are coming/ They never do" and the cleaning part. (My husband always insists on cleaning the house anyway... knowing full well they won't show! *shake my head*)

Hahahahahahahahahaha He sounds like fun! Funny like my husband who broke down and SWEPT the kitchen floor out of desperation for the first time EVER in the history of the world - yesterday which tells you how BAD it was.

I am running back up to re-read this. What twist? Ah, yes, the end-line. Thanks.

lol wonderful ending! I can relate. For years we went the 100 miles to visit the in-laws. We stopped years ago. Nobody has visited us in 30 yrs and we live down the shore where people vacation all summer long. I love the positive attitude you put on this poem. I need to learn that. Thank you dear Caren. PS: I can't seem to find your Las Vegas poem. Can you tell me the title?

It is called "Being a Cage Manager in Las Vegas". Thank you for your lovely comment, Allen.
