Explore "Hospitality" by Gelett Burgess on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When a person visits you, remember he's your guest, / Receive him very kindly, and be sure he has the best; / Make him very comfortable and show him all your toys, / And only play the games you're very sure that he enjoys.
When you pay a visit, never grumble or complain, / Try to be so affable they'll want you there again; / Don't forget the older ones, your hostess least of all, / When you're leaving tell her you have had a pleasant call!
