A Tour (of me)

I don’t mind giving you a tour of me,

But your own risk if you get lost.

And if you promise to be a good guest,

I too will try to be a good host.

.

So if that is agreed, let’s set down a few rules –

One, you cannot for ever stay;

Two, you will come when I ask you to,

And leave when I say, go away.

.

Okay. Mind your steps, it’s labyrinthine in here,

And there ain’t much time, do not be slow.

What? You think there is nothing to see in the dark?

I think it is time for you to go.

.

That will be all then, between you and me,

Apologies, for you seem disappointed.

I knew when I saw you, that would be the case,

And I guess I should have pointed.
