WELCOME To Our HOUSE
written by: Helen Dowd
WELCOME To Our HOUSE
Friend, please do not think that our place is unclean,
should you suddenly, one day, appear on the scene.
Oh, you’ll find bits of paper, or yard, blue or green,
or perhaps a stuffed toy that is now a “has-been.”
Should you look even further, around on the floor,
you might see a slipper, toy mouse, or yet more.
But don’t be alarmed. What’s a living room for?
You see, in our house, there are pets by the score.
The dog chews on bones, no matter their age.
A cat’s got the phonebook; he’s ripping a page.
(But gone are the budgies, who flung seeds from their cage,
or fluttered their feathers, as if in a rage.)
Our house is not messy. Oh no! Not at all!
But please, do be careful as you walk down the hall.
Don’t trip on blind-Baby-cat, or step on a ball.
We would feel mighty awful, should you stumble and fall.
Then on to the office perchance you should stroll.
Ah, there–even there–havoc’s taken its toll.
On a white bed of tissue, once so neat on a roll,
There may be cats sleeping, like moles in a hole.
Hold on! Let me finish the rest of my tale:
There are even aquariums full of fish and of snails.
But midst the confusion, you’ll find, without fail,
that remarkable peace and contentment prevails.
So friend, come and call if you’re passing this way.
We will welcome you in, and invite you to stay.
Yes, “our family” is certain to brighten your day.
Well, folks, that is all that I’ve come here to say.
