After the party was over <br />My guests slowly drifted away <br />All full of my liquid refreshment <br />But nobody offered to stay <br /> <br />My carpet with trodden in pastry <br />White rings on my antique side table <br />Half empty cans of strong larger <br />Dripped anywhere tip-ups were able <br /> <br />Someone had emptied an ashtray <br />And worked it well into the pile <br />Not the done thing at a party <br />So that’s the last one for a while <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/3-the-last-party/
