A poem about A Nevergoodenougher

In style of Dr Seuss. Inspired by recent streek of "never good enough" guests. By Inna.

Let's say you are a host 

And a good one, indeed

Then getting a Nevergoodenougher

Is truly a treat

A Nevergoodenougher is a guest who by far

Is the best of all guests 

That arrive to your nest

Or house, apartment, a boat or flat

They are greater than greatest

We can make a bet!

It's dark and it's late

And you put on nightgown

When you hear a ding from your phone.

You look down.

The Nevergoodenougher has found some flauts!

He is up! He is happy!

He is checking the bolts

To make sure the door frame is screwed on just right

If not- it might fall! In the middle of the night!

The towels were washed but not with the bestest

Detergent that the Nevergoodenougher has personally tested

Location is all right 

But the airport is not close

The pillows is too soft

For his neck, ears and nose

The check in was smooth 

But the doormat did not smile

It is the rudest rug he has seen in a while!

The Nevergoodenougher departs

You sigh a relief.

A new day starts.

A good one but brief.

As the evening comes down- a knock on the door.

The Nevergoodenougher is back!

He liked the house and wants to stay more.

@Inna22 Brilliant! Very witty! :))) 

It always happens when I have my night gown or pj's on, or am doing a rare hair colour or night mask session. Not a good look! Not that I have had much time for home spa treatments during the busy season. My days of going to have a manicure or pedicure are a distant memory.

The poem needs to be much longer and cover more about the Nevergoodenougher , that he is the messiest, the rudest, always late and does things that nobody ever thought of doing. And he is the one with the one 1 * star ( for you !) LOL

@Gisele20  I will start working on the next part 🙂

It’s so funny now especially if you had one of those guests and you know exactly what this poem is all about and  because it wasn’t funny at the time. LOL

love your wit @Inna22 
Used to write rhymes in the past and had a blast

Found some of my earlier writings recently... brought back lots of lovely memories..also some of them got us into a spot of bother as some people don't understand double meanings of words.

 

I'm sure we can all come up dittys about guests and been in custody and the Grey Bar ( as in jail!)
