His scowl bounces off the walls
and she knows what kind of bounce he needs
but their inconvenient visitor
incites invible depression
so there is no undressing
for decompressing
As Ben Franklin would say,
“Fish and visitors stink
after three days.”

Hey! It says ‘she’ it doesn’t say ‘I’!

too true – but I have to admit that I don’t know the meaning of that word ‘invible’ in the fourth line, so I’m not sure if I’m just dumb, or if it’s a typo…
lol. That would be a typo.
I hope all is well friend!
Thank you, Leroy.
All is well in my world. 🙂
Swahili proverb states “…after three days give them a hoe!” As in the implement 😊
That doesn’t work if they just stand in the middle of the garden holding the hoe and looking confused, or worse yet, dive in with gusto and clear out your prized delphiniums…
Franklin also said (probably): “Hey! Where’s that key?”
lol
I had a friend in England whose sister came from Australia for a three week visit. She, and her kid, stayed 9 months.
ARGGGGGGGG!!!!! our poor friend! Unless there is a private suite, rental income, and generous gifts of dinners out, guests really should obey initiallyagreed upon terms!
Big fan of this one.
Thanks, Micah.
I stay nowhere more than two weeks, as a guest, and then, only more than two days if I am in a family home.
Can you stay as a guest if you’re not in a family home?
Surely this is what ear-muffs are for? Give them to the guest, accompanied a confident raised eyebrow and let them figure out what is going to happen next.
Or text messages. “Please vacate the premises for two hours between the hours of…”
Aw. But mine has way more comic potential.
😉
And holy shit. Two hours?
Some things should not be rushed!
I am altogether impressed.
lol
