Unexpected Or Unwanted

Unexpected or Unwanted There arrival were always unexpected With a string of curses never too far behind, From the host, feeling particularly dejected, Yet who’s always been able to have them wined, And out the door without feeling affected. With all that said they were quite kind, Just chatty, Simply put, they said anything in their mind, Even so, they were never ratty, But sometimes they were quite opined. There visits were always quick, They came, they laughed, they left, And when they finally left it appeared to some as a trick, Yet, alas, they were not that deft, For something quite so sick. The conversations were always filled with the same useless chatter, Filled with their bottomless fake promises, Where they reminisced on the days that we’re better, Without ever asking themselves what that accomplishes, And before you’re able to say see you next time they scatter.
