Who's at the door?

A pleasant read for sure.  I found myself smiling learning about this 'family'.  Only 'critique'...the "where ever he is he can’t have got far" line did not seem to flow smoothly like the rest of the poem did.  It just reads oddly to me.  Keep on keepin' on with your writing!

I agree to an extent. "Can't have got" is more British than American which may have caused PB's trip up. I think "can't have gone" would sound smoother and that's how I read it until now, but it's not much of a difference.
