My Home

Before you knock at my door or ring my bell One thing you must know about where I dwell This is my home and you are its guest Come as a friend and a visitor, and not as a pest. You are more than welcome to come to my house But remember you are a friend, and not my spouse Don’t look about my home and wanting to see a mess It would be the same to ridicule me, on the way that I dress. You might not like my house or the way that I decorate But please don’t go about my home and investigate Don’t open my cabinets and don’t go through my drawers Remember this house is my home, and it is not yours. You might find my pets on my couch and chairs But remember this furniture is mine, and it is also theirs So don’t complain about their smell or even their fur And don’t push them off, remember they were there first. And if you go to my kitchen to quench your thirst Before you open my fridge, or grab a glass, please ask first Please do not pick up a dish to see if it’s dirty or clean Do not be rude of my housekeeping, and do not intervene. Don’t be shocked if on the floor you see pants, socks or a shoe As I too have a child and he lives here too And the noise that you heard it is very common around here As it is my child playing so please don’t jump or shout in fear. Before you come to my home, and enter my front door Think before you snoop, or before my home you explore This is my home and as a friend you I happily accept Please show us respect, or from my house you I will reject.
