# 1543 TPOS prompt: Dad’s quote

.
.
One summer at my parents home,
only one weekend
didn’t have some one or somebodies
“drop in” for a few days….
inexpensive B+B on the way to somewhere
he’d joke.
He said also he was going to put a sign up
“Gerstner Motel and Restaurant”
if any more “dropped by”
.
.
family and friends
the weekends of summer
some stay too long
“fish and visitors stink
after three days” dad spouts
.
