When an unwanted guest comes to town.

My friend Ivan is coming to dinner.


I wish he was a little late,


But as expected he’s right on time.


 


People say he’s a nice guy,


But I don’t think so.


He comes into town


And destroys everything.


 


He doesn’t know how


To use the bathroom.


He leaves the place a total mess.


 


He has horrible breath


Blowing everything away.


It doesn’t help that he brings


His cousins: Tor, Nay, and Doe.


 


Between the four of them,


I wish they would just leave


Ivan, Ivan, go away.  Please


Come back…oh don’t come back!


 


2004 Gustavo White

I relate and hear you on this one Gustavo. Sitting here now at 12am and catching the outerbands of Ivan as it passes the upstate of South Carolina. Good luck in your future pursuits.
