Sheet Happens
The doorbell rang, my heart went thump,
I glanced around at the mess and slump:
Socks on the lamp, a pizza box throne,
A laundry mountain I'd call my own.
So quick, I grabbed my bedsheet bright,
And tossed it over the chaos tight.
Now sofa, sink, and stacks of books
Look like ghosts in a sheety nook.
I opened up with a cheerful grin,
As my guest stepped in with a wary chin.
"Oh, what's that lump?" they asked with a squint,
"Just modern art," I said, not a hint.
They sat down slow on a rolling mound,
And squeaked a toy that hid underground.
I served them tea in a mug, bare-faced,
While the cat was napping in the cookie case.
So if you visit and see a hill,
Don't ask me questions, I'll stay still.
It's just my hidden, cozy plan,
A sheet-draped mess, the house-tidying fan.
Mud on the Welcome Mat
The doorbell rang, I flung it wide,
A guest in coat, with cheer and pride.
But Rover bounded, tail aloft,
And sprinted out through mud so soft.
He leapt with joy, his paws ablaze
With swamp-brown prints in muddy haze.
Up came the sleeves, the hems, the knees,
A dappled hug from fur-face pleas.
My guest stood frozen, shirt now art,
A map of paws across the heart.
I cried, "Oh dear, he's just so glad!"
The guest just laughed, "Well, I'm not mad!"
Extra Cheese, Extra Guest
I ordered a pie with pepperoni, not a plus-one,
But the driver came in, and he's staying for fun.
He kicked off his sneakers and claimed my best chair,
And asked for a fork, then dug in with a flair.
He praised my decor and critiqued my cold tea,
Then asked if I'd mind if he phoned his mom, Lee.
He found the last slice I had saved for the morning,
And gave it a bite with a satisfied yawning.
Now he's wearing my robe and reclining on the couch,
He's rated my movies and tapped on my pouch.
I tipped him a dollar, a ten, and a smile,
But he's still here, insisting he'll stay for a while.
