Evening Party by Victor Vilner

We in the attic blanketed with dust

Waiting stiffly until The Beaumont's leave,

Us portraits and mannequins stuck like rust

Wearing fluffy clothes the butler would weave.

 

They leave, we awaken and run downstairs

To see the table full of wine and mess

We gather around, the gramophone blares

The butler screams, that old Anderson Wes

 

He looked as though he never saw a feast

Ran stupidly shaking like a drunk man

'Til the portrait of Paul said to the beast,

"You're waking the neighbors, here have some flan!"

 

Eyes bulging, eyes fuming old Wes breaks down

His allergy got the very best of him

Rolling on the floor covered in a frown

We watched and listened his life on a limb.

 

"He ruined the party!" cried Ms. LeBoot,

We were in uproar, covered in white noise

But then stood Mr. Crowser in his suit

Headless, but strong with a booming tight voice.

 

He said, "We shall not let his death be vain,

As butler Wes would see this to the end

Now let us dine and let us feast through pain

And unveil this dust, with drink it will mend!"
