Testing Limits Of Hospitality Poem by Terence George Craddock

Testing Limits Of Hospitality

Rating: 5.0


old wise tales oft spoken quoted
'familiarity breeds contempt'
differences in character traits bite

honoured guest was courtesy greeted
preparations exquisite food wine finest
but beware fools who welcome overstays

fruitful moral is generosity
decreases with familiarity
tests limits of hospitality
