I sit on their couch.
I will eat their chips.
I will drink their soda.
I will help them lift the recliner
When they vaccuum.

Those are nice pictures
On the wall.
Your parents are attractive people.
I can imagine how quite happy they are.
How old were they there?


I use their bathroom.
I will do my laundry at their house.
I will smoke cigarettes
Where they let me.
I will spool and unspool the yo-yo
Sitting on the coffee table.

You have a terrific refrigerator.
Was it here when you moved in?
I can imagine how nice it is
To let it make ice for you.
Does it run your electric bill up?


I help carry their groceries in.
I will read their magazines.
I will watch their television.
I will pick up their knick-knacks
And wonder where they got them,
Where they came from.

This room is just the right size.
You have it arranged just prefectly.
I can imagine how pleasant it is
To live here.
I can imagine how nice it all really is.
