Moral Message: one should not stay in a Japanese house as a guest for more than three days.
In my home land, Guests are said to be friends of God. quack - quack

'Twas a Braingle Test
Entitled simply "The Pest"

It turned out to be the Guest

hehe, that was kinda cute smarty, took me a while to get it though, even after i saw the answer
Not bad but a little vague thanks for the teaser
I enjoyed the rhyming,
good meter and timing;
and you'd make a good poet
(if you didn't know it).
As for the rest,
I did guess the guest.
Really not a bad teaser. I've seen a few of yours and enjoyed many of them. Keep them coming!

Thank you everyone, i'm happy you liked it; about me being a good poet... you just wrote that to get the rhyming, didn't you?
very cute
Ok how many people know Japanese Provebs? Seriously? Lol. Well except for Japanese people and people who know proverbs. But you get my point.
I loved the rhyme though. It was cool.

I'm glad you like my teasers, you are all very nice (although i don't really know what to pick from all those emotions )
I, too, don't know any Japanese proverbs. I thought it was a couch potatoe.
Oh, and by the way, for those of you who remember Dan Quail, I was taught to spell them P-O-T-A-T-O-E and T-O-M-A-T-O-E!!!

Uh, ok... a couch potato?

Well I thought it was the "stomach" !!! Like you feed it junk food and spoil it ! and then the word couch made me think of couch potato too! Good one though!
Very glad you like it!
Very good,Smarty. The only answer I could even think of was the right answer, and that was without knowing about the Japanese rain. Nice job
Thank you AZITTT, i'm very happy you like it. And thank you all for your kind comments and for checking out my teasers, you guys are too much!!!
