Stacked Up High

It is a wonderful apartment
But, just comfortable for three,
A surprise visit from relatives
Soon turns into a catastrophe.

Ouch watch out will you
Cried from a young child,
How do you find the space
Seems they will be here awhile.

Breakfast now requires shifts
Lunch and supper do too,
Lets not forget about bedtime
Oh, just how to make it through.

We pile them in one at a time
Please, step over that one,
Parents are under much pressure
While the kid's thinks its fun.

With time going by quickly
Your guests will soon go,
All the over crowding now gone
You'll really miss it I know.
