AN AWKWARD SITUATION, by                    
First Line: Try as I would I could not rid myself of the bore
Last Line: "'certainly, sir,' he replied. 'step this way.'"
Subject(s): Friendship - False Friends; Fair Weather Friends


Try as I would I could not rid myself of the Bore.
He was not to be dismissed by anything I did.
"I must go uptown," I said; but he merely replied,
"Very well, I'll go with you."
I invented several chores but he stuck like a leech.
Finally I hesitated in front of a private dwelling
I had never seen before and said to the Bore,
"I must stop here to see an old friend. Good-by.
I ran up the steps and rang the bell.
The door was opened by a servant.
"Is Mrs. Robinson in?" I inquired.
"Certainly, sir," he replied. "Step this way."
