Explore "Inexpensive Guests" by Ring Lardner on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I wonder how 'twould make you feel, / My fellow food providers, / To have as guests at ev'ry meal / Three -- count 'em, three -- outsiders.
Well, that's the case with me, but still / I don't complain or holler, / For, strange to say, the groc'ry bill / Has not gone up a dollar.
These guests of ours, to make it brief, / Can't really chew or swallow; / They're merely dolls, called Indian Chief, / And Funny Man, and Rollo.
