Callous Host
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
If you visit me, don't expect a great deal of fanfare
In fact, whether you drop by or not, I don't really care
I may have a story to tell
Or I may have something to sell
I don't mind having you as my guest
But may throw you out for too long a rest
Unfortunately, I can't offer you a drink
But I may provide you with a tab or a link
I may let you drop by to leave some post
Sorry for being such a terrible host
Who or what am I?
