How Do I Say This Politely? (A Little Lighthearted Interlude) Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

With family and friends all arriving in tow
the atmosphere's building up well,
with Christmas now past and a New Year to come
I'm debating how best I can tell....
These friends, either bloodline
or known from the past,
whose company I just adore,
who when I am cooking within my domain
will keep coming through my kitchen door!
"Oh please let me help" is the usual cry
"It's not fair that you're out here alone! "
They lean on the worktop all chatty and bright
and show me their lives on their phone..
I feign a polite "oh your dogs are so sweet,
and the hats they have on are such fun"
What I really should say is "please just go away
I am cooking and I need no one! "
They will all insist that they all should assist
In the cooking of food I have planned,
they never can see that a hindrance they be
and I'd much rather wish they were banned.
Please return to the area where others are met
and go fill up your empty wine glass,
I'll soon have it done, and much quicker I think
with you not hanging onto my ass!
So Happy New Year and I wish you good cheer
may you days be all peace and no bitchin'
You are here as my guest, now please go join the rest
and leave me alone in my kitchen!
