Subject: [PW] Edgar Guest (?) poem - "Welcome Guest"

 I have a patron who is trying to find the full text of a poem she
remembers.  She thinks the poet is Edgar Guest.  Here's what she
remembers of the poem:
 
Welcome guest and howdy do 
this small room belongs to you
And our house and all that's in it (something, something) minute
If the temperature displeases....
 
I wonder if this isn't from his NBC TV show, "A Guest in Your Home."
 
I've tried Grangers editions 9-12, Bartleby, Google, etc.  We don't have
any Edgar Guest compilations at this branch, but I've sent for one from
another branch to arrive for my Saturday shift.  Anyone able to find
this before Saturday?
 
Thanks a bunch!
