There was a fly in the pie and guests were arriving**
It couldn’t be reached without breaking the crust**
Of the fourteen wine glasses, one had lipstick on it’s rim**
A chair was a bit weak and might just collapse**
There were seven tea bags and fourteen were needed**
As everyone would be taking tea**
The hostess had one shoelace that was too long**
And if she stepped on it she would surely go down**
She forgot to take the dog out and it was prone to leave its calling card
on the posh living room rug**
The teaspoons were merely rinsed without soap**
The piano was very audibly out of tune**
The handiman was scheduled to mow the lawn
and his lawnmower created a most raucous sound**
The front door had a trick lock which refused to open**
They would all have to trudge in through the back door
and it was starting to rain**
She might be short a plate or two or even three**
The trash people hadn’t been by for two weeks**
And the toilet nearly flushed every other time**
Six days she toiled and on this, the seventh day
she simply gave up**
But everything righted itself**
And much to her surprise things came together in a fashion**
And she basked in the sunshine after the rain-when everyone had left-
And chalked up another Win++++++++
