The Hostess' Lament
When parlor games we
organize,
Our guests react with
pained surprise;
They'd much prefer, they
say, to sit

The guessing games, or
words that rhyme,
Those self-same chatty
guests quick-freeze
And stare all evening at
their knees!

"The Bakers won't be able to spare
us a kitten after all. Seems their cat
only had three kittens, and they'd
already promised ..."
