Garden Party |
Garden Party held today, invites call the debs to play, |
social climbers polish ladders, wayward sons again have fathers, |
Edgy eggs and queing cumbers, rudely wakened from their slumber, |
time has come again for slaughter on the lawns by still |
Cam |
waters. |
Champagne corks are firing at the sun again |
Swooping swallows chased by violins again |
Straafed by Strauss they sulk in crumbling eaves again. |
Apertifs consumed en masse display their owners on the grass |
Couples loiter in the cloisters, social leeches quoting Chaucer. |
Doctor’s son a parson’s daughter where why not and should they oughta |
Please don’t lie on the grass, unless accompanied by a fellow, |
May I be so bold as to suggest Othello. |
Punting on the Cam is jolly fun they say |
Beagling on the downs Oh please come they say |
Rugger is the tops a game for men they say. |
Angie chalks another blue, mother smiles she did it too |
Chitters chat and gossips lash, posers pose pressmen flash. |
Smiles polluted with false charm, locking onto Royal arms, |
Society columns now ensured, return to mingle with the crowds |
Oh what a crowd. |
