Typical guests (1:11)
by Ashley & Kasey
 

Some people are just never on time,
And when they don't care it's practically a crime.

So your long-anticipated guests arrive,
And your thoughts or a tolerable night start to drive.

You sit down to appetizers that have been cold for an hour
And they continue to make your attitude sour!

You try to hold a decent conversation,
However, it always leads back to their vacation.

They never listen to the rules of the house,
And they aren't what you'd call "quiet as a mouse."

By the end of the night the bathroom ends up wet,
You don't find out how, but that's the thanks you get?

It's time for bed and you're tucked in your bag,
When you hear a gurgled snore that makes you want to gag!

When the party's all over, and there's popcorn on the floor,
Guess who's the butt of your mother's great roar?!
