BEHOLD,A VISITOR!!!

Hardly do we watch TV anymore,
its tantrums are enough to look at!
Hardly do we listen to the RADIO,
it creates its own 'annoying music'!

Hardly do we laugh at jokes of CHURCHIL,
its crackin us up instead!
Hardly do we CRY anymore,
its stare speaks terror!

Hardly do we even RELAX,
all our time is spent makin it comfortable!
Hardly do we have a DECENT SHOWER,
its drinkin up all th water!

Hardly do we read NEWSPAPERS anymore,
its an article on its own!
Hardly do we wait for the PRIME TIME NEWS anymore,
its makin news already!

SO NOW buyin more tissues has become our NEW HOBBY,
its messin up our house!
so now wakin up earlier than usual is mandatory,its our ALARM!

so now being mad is pointless,
its POKIN us mercilessly yet we cant poke bk!
so now an EMPTY BOX has become its house,
its living wt us by force!

so now a SACK has become its bed,
it takes naps when it feels like it!
so now the silence we previously enjoyed is no more,
we are screamin CHEESE in the name of imaginary photo shoots just to silence it!

so now we just PRAY
yet it still interrupts us with quacks!
so now our WRITING has been shaperned,
we are creating poems out of it!

so now EVERY VISITOR z ceremoniously announced,
its the NEW WATCH GUARD!
so now our HEARTS break,
what on earth is it doin here?

so now our house z a PLAYGROUND,
every kid is its playmate!
so now our SOULS crush,
its takin over our home!
so now our MINDS r restless,
we are thinking of ways to eliminate it for good!

BUT NOW our SPIRITS are leaping for joy,
we are having it FOR DINNER!

BEHOLD,OUR VISITOR WAS A CHICKEN!
