Oh, what a wonderful time was had
And such company made me so glad.
Although everyone was reluctant at first
They relaxed when I slaked their thirst.
Then a push of a blade, a poisoned pin
Playing a game I always win,
Arsenic, cyanide, mandrake root,
Hemlock, monkshood, mushroom shoot:
Appetizers for one and all.
'My dear, your complexion's beginning to pall.'
Her dress is ruined, with face like a goat,
A ragged red choker across her throat.
That man over there is puffy and blue,
I guess he had too much special brew.
The turntable's playing our favorite song;
It's a pity that noone sings along.
The night wears down, my party's dead;
Just don't let it go to your head,
And to show that I'm a true Gent
You can all stay in my basement.
We really, truly must do this again;
Just bring yourself, I'll bring the gin,
And though I've never been, might be mad,
Oh, what a wonderful time I had.

I liked this following lines

Great work.

i like the idea of the party being dead literally and the cheerful insanity of this poem...

This is chilling, it sounds like a cross between a bad party and a murder..Very interesting set up.

You really do have a cheeky sense of humour!

I love the matter-of-fact-oh-what-fun tone here. It reminds me of a song by the Legendary Pink Dots (I know, no-one's heard of them ...), Lisa's Party
