The Visitor Poem by Jack Prelutsky
The Visitor
it came today to visit
and moved into the house
it was smaller than an elephant
but larger than a mouse
first it slapped my sister
then it kicked my dad
then it pushed my mother
oh! that really made me mad
it went and tickled rover
and terrified the cat
it sliced apart my necktie
and rudely crushed my hat
it smeared my head with honey
and filled the tub with rocks
and when i yelled in anger
it stole my shoes and socks
that's just the way it happened
it happened all today
before it bowed politely
and softly went away
im doing this for my exam and i nned the inner meaning
im doing this for my exam and i nned the inner meaning
it went and tickled rover and terrified the cat it sliced apart my necktie and rudely crushed my hat
Profound piece that leaves the reader with an enigma to ponder. A masterpiece!
A wonderful and well crafted poem. Great lines to ponder about.
it smeared my head with honey and filled the tub with rocks and when i yelled in anger it stole my shoes and socks Smearing my head with honey. tony

Sounds like the visitor was a zeitgeist. I think perhaps it was a little kind, it did relieve you of your stuffy tie after all.
