The garden was warm and inviting

As the guests began to arrive

The laughter was gloriously infectious

As the guests continued to arrive

The house was filled to the rafters

As the curry began to be served

The exchanges got warmer and warmer

As the musician enchanted the crowd

The inhibitions were gradually ebbing

As the champagne flowed as a tide

Embarrassing moments were happening

As the party lech continued to paw

Strange liaisons and invasions of normal

Led to distress and the falling of tears

The talking got dafter and dafter

As the champagne continued to pour

The beat got stronger and stronger

As the dancers gyrated around

The antics grew ever more puerile

As the champagne was continually downed

Then as attrition set in

The odd guest made excuses to leave

Whilst the stalwarts continued to morning

As champagne was now drunk with a straw

And as the night it faded to morning

The waft of bacon was caught in the air

First footers arrived in the kitchen

The lure of caffeine too much to bear

Hazy memories of revelry remembered

As hangover cures are shared

And as the fog began to lift with some breakfast

The flow of champagne begins once more!
