And for dessert, a layer snake.
The terrible servants serve it;
Each course out of order and late.
We all sit down
And choke it down,
Then summon the incompetent doctor.
He pronounces us well
Though we itch and swell,
Then departs via helicopter.
The horrible host says goodnight by post
Three weeks later by standard form...
We're invited to dinner again next winter,
Alfresco in the howling storm.

for One Shot Wednesday
38 spoke through the ouija:

Alfresco in the howling storm...i want to try that! I love it!! :-)
love the feetloaf...a trip to the Adams Family home, when i was younger - someone at work used to call me Mortica...fun, fun post...bkm
Extremely clever and funny. Word play was excellent; I felt I'd experienced a formal but gruesome dinner party--oh wait a minute, I did. Thanks, Gay
Hope winter is far enough away to prime your taste buds for another!
Entertaining poem:)
This was a hoot from beginning to end, Shay. How sweet of the guests to partake!
I was thinking "oh no I haven't eaten and she is going to have my mouth watering" Ha I should have known.
Not hungry!!!

Well! See if I invite you to another one of my dinner parties!
Feetloaf! Whose feet? :)
PS Babs would not approve.
I was expecting a Rocky Horror Show
soiree...
I'm thinking Titus Andronicus here...or it would make a great jump rope song!

Warm Aloha from Waikiki

If you know wha I mean
The only question yet to be seen

All those dirty dishes ?
I laughed, then read it three times. What a party! And thank you for the enjoyable time I spent here.
yep..as everyone else said...feetloaf....but perfer mine with lashings of jam..thats toe jam LOL...a great enjoyable poem..cheers pete
Sorry... I had a hard time getting past feetloaf.
It was a Rock Horror flashback.
Sort of.
Umm, Shay? Sorry, something suddenly came up and I can't make it for dinner this weekend. Maybe next time.
I'm not sure I'd except another invitation to this dinner party. Feetloaf cracked me up!!
And for dinner next winter
I will feast like a beast
And hope the M.D.
Stays away from me.
This was great fun.
So fun to read - just what the doctor ordered. ;)
I hope everyone chewed thoroughly so no one had to administer the Hemlock Maneuver
THIS IS SO GREAT:~) I loved reading this one...it was fun...everything backwards. I like feetloaf and layer snake:~)
Oh, you are so clever and you make reading poetry the most fun. I want to write like you:~)
Very clever and so much fun! Great job.
Hey Shay, I'm back from vacation and so happy to read all your fabulous work. What a gift you have.
I've had a few "feetloafs" in my day. You crack me up.
Hope you are good. Happy September,
jj
