It sat there, so pretty in pink, <br />But soon my heart started to sink <br />At that sad intimation <br />Of the mad invitation. <br />What did they want me to think? <br /> <br />“The party’s on Saturday next: <br />The theme is unusual dress, <br />The dafter, the better, <br />Mad hatter, trendsetter, <br />As long as you dress to impress.” <br /> <br />But that’s just the thing that I hate, <br />And so I’m resigned to my fate: <br />I might as well wind up, <br />Since I can’t make my mind up <br />As to what to wear, till too late.<br /><br />C Richard Miles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fancy-dress-invite/
