At The Party
Monday 30 April
Dads clear the mess as
Princesses in dresses dash
Off to play football.
Tuesday 29 April
Street party bunting.
The neighbours chat, while children
Run around and that.
Wednesday 30 April
Black tie, big night, crisp
White invite, fine food, fine wines.
Bored out of their minds.
Thursday 1 May
Dance floor, Dad goes ape,
Gran is in there, throwin’ shapes.
Kids stare, mouths agape.
Friday 2 May
Party girls slumber
In chic little numbers, wrapped
In boys’ overcoats.
