Guests

The guests have come and gone, now back to the old routine. We showed them all the tourist spots, partook of local cuisine; Put many miles on the old sedan and spent a ton of dough! Sure was nice to see them come, better yet to see them go! My bedtime is off kilter, they want to stay up and chew the fat. Their visit even upset the routine of my inscrutable cat! My spouse jolts me awake nudging me 'neath the table with her toe! Sure was nice to see them come, better yet to see them go! Surprise! Surprise! They showed up with their yapping cur. Consternation reigned when he saw the cat, causing quite a stir! On the priceless Persian carpet, he let his water freely flow! Sure was nice to see them come, better yet to see them go! Come time to pay for luncheon, we each try to out-shuffle, Who will pick up the tab without causing a frightful scuffle! Invariably, we end up sharing the total amount we owe. Sure was nice to see them come, better yet to see them go! Tho' this was written entirely with my acerbic tongue in cheek, I love having guests (as long as they stay within a week!). Tho' some of my habitual modus operandi I must forego, Sure is nice to have them come, better yet to see them go!
