Uninvited Guests

not welcome

Nobody knew they would be there

Didn't have any idea who they were

In they came

Took their seats

We all didn't know whether to greet

Or if there was a source we should beseech

Weren't sure about their deceit

The lights went out and we heard a horrendous screach

When we could see again there was nobody on the seats

All we could see was their gnashing teeth

Floating high above the seats

Understanding was beyond our reach

Dark again and then they appeared again

We never knew when

It was anybody's guess

But we knew we wouldn't get any rest

It was all due to these uninvited guests
