They Come In Twos-Unwanted Guests Contest

Driving past the couple I could see They were heading my way Expecting tea Now anyone is welcome At my humble home Except those two Why have they come? She clanks her teeth when she speaks His nose always running... he eats like that My stomach turns because she reeks Her bladder is dodgy, smells worse than a cat I open the door with a smile Tea is ready I say with ease Slurping the liquid she looks quite senile Have a cake or a biscuit, I try to please Grabbing the muffin he stuffs it in Covered in snot, not a pretty site Started to cough…. is smirking a sin? Looked at him sweetly saying are u alright. It is five o'clock time they were gone I fetch their coats, saying good of you to call in Sorry you have to go don’t make it so long Closing the door I rush straight for the gin
