Unwelcome guests invade our house, beneath the cushions of the couch, but when I send them on their way, they just return another day. These so-called guests are burdensome, consisting most of food and crumb, that take a ride in Mom's vacuum, but leave their off-spring 'bout the room. These bits and pieces have a knack, of being stored for future snack, kids hide them deep for TV nights, then, reach down under for a bite! I've made a list of favorite treats, that find their way beneath the seats, so many treasuresquite content, they should be made to pay the rent. One time I found a chicken bone that thought the sofa was its home, a pizza crust, a walnut shell, a dried-up olivewho could tell? The other night my brother cried, "My gosh! It smells like someone died!" I looked and calmly said with glee, "It's just a hunk of broccoli!" Then suddenly, a sneak attack, I saw it growing 'tween the cracks, a horrid thing--it left me numb, I think it was the 'Franken-Crumb'! Its tentacles were everywhere, and heavy breathing filled the air, It shrieked, "Clean up your act!", then said "I started as a crust of bread!" I got up from my bed in shock, and gazed upon the bedroom clock, I heard a noise from down below Mom had her Hoover on the go! The sofa sighed with much relief- she vacuumed it beyond belief, and threatened if one crumb should stray she'd make me use a TV tray!
