Unwanted Guests

The unwanted guest We are having guests tomorrow I hate it upsetting my day Eight people and one of them is a woman I once loved and wrote poetry about. It is embarrassing I used her as a muse But I’m not interested in her personally. The only good thing is we are going to a posh Restaurant and I don’t have to pay. If they order something dear and it is not Good for my diabetes I will have to say so And have an omelette with tomatoes. The husband of the one I used to like works In the oil business in a poor African country So wine is out I get loose lips when drinking. It will be an ordeal I have to suffer not To upset anyone and leave my political views at home.
