Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

A PITY-PARTY OF FUN

Let’s have a party
And drink the finest of wine
We shall have crumpets and tea
Or eat fresh shrimp as we dine

Let’s invite a bunch
And share our woes of life
What bugs us the most ‘tis not a hunch
It’s all the things that cause us strife

Let’s chomp loudly
On celery, carrots, or chips
We’ll eat heartedly and proudly
With hummus, salsa, and various dips

Let’s play our song
Bang the drum or belt out a tune
Send out cheers to each other along
The bayous of the bay or at a sandy dune

Let’s release our pities
Into fondue basins of cheesy sauce
And smother sorrows into s’mores, please
With some cheer to you and to me we’ll toss
