The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 157 Poem by Flying Lemming

Welcome to my humble dwelling
Please make yourself at home
The day has been long and telling
So treat my place as your own
But just before we go inside
Could I please ask of you
To leave your shoes outside
As the carpets are quite new

Now find your way along the hall
Take the first door on your right
Try not to rub against the wall
I like the wallpaper bright
I’ll welcome you just like a brother
Please help yourself to a seat
Just let me first put down this cover
I’m trying to keep them neat

I’m sure you’ll like a cup or tea
I know I wont have to force
You wont be at ease with fine china like me
So just a mug for you of course
You say you are going, that’s a pity
And I think somewhat a disgrace
You show someone real hospitality
And they throw it back in your face
