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.

@Helen427 yes, I agree, not many enjoy/appreciate/find it funny. I have gotten a handful of likes when "guest brought an extra guest" post gets 40 every single time someone posts. Which is several times a day. I would love to see some of yours rhymes! Post them here!

@Inna22  Thanks for the reminder-I had actually forgotten to thumbs up it. If I could have given it 5 thumbs up, I would have 🙂

@Sarah977 Thank you! I generally could care less about the thumbs up and never even look at it when I post, but this time I noticed and found it interesting

That is the most fantasticest poem ever! Thanks for sharing, the nevergoodenougher is hopefully rarer 🙂

@Tiffany321 Love it!

I don't get the magazine here in UK. I'd be happy to receive it. Who knows, the magazine might have a few useful articles, but if not, I can always use it. I have 4 cats and I like to use paper to line the litter tray, as it stops them ripping the plastic tray liner with their claws.

@Fiona243  It is usually travel articles, nothing for hosts. So for cats is the only use 🙂

About to post a new poem and got nostalgic about this one.
