Unwelcome Guests

It feels like they've been here forever, How long isn't easy to tell. They claim they arrived from Australia but I think they came here from hell. The cats all left home for a fortnight the fleas on the dog did the same The washing machine thinks it's having a fit but maybe it's me that's to blame. I should have known just what would happen my house would not be my own, but instead, I said "Treat the place just like it's yours" "Please make yourself feel at home". I wonder if their house has multiple showers and loo rolls that never run out I wonder if their house resembles a bomb site I'll hopefully never find out. They changed my routines as a matter of course and I didn't have any say They made me feel awkward and sometimes as if it was me that got in the way. Some gratitude might have helped matters a 'Thank you' or two would have done But never a hint from either they were even having fun. So now they are gone and the place is my own, doors are not locked anymore and if in the future they wish to return I won't even open the door!
