HOSPITALITY

Gelett Burgess

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; Do n't forget the older ones, your hostess least of all, When you're leaving tell her you have had a pleasant call!
