Oh, Ms. Park!

 

Nice party,

Ms. Marty.

 

Let's see

Who's here:

 

I see

There's old Ms. Johnson

And Mezzena.

 

There's Ms. Manson.

Over there's Ms. Bessie

Anne Johansson.

 

And I can't omit,

Even a little bit,

Our Betty Ann Jo Hansen.

 

And also

Ms. Gerard and Ford,

And then Mizzenmast,

Mizmaze,

 

And---oh, my lord!---

I mustn't leave

Out stout Mesarch,

 

Nor Mesmeric,

Nor young Mesmerize,

 

Nor even one who's ofttimes

Feelin' homely Lester

 

Out: Ms. Fannie Park.

As always Chuck

This is written with wit and insight. I like the political edge even although I could not get all the connections you have made - probably because I am in the UK? Who is Fannie Park? Nevertheless I enjoyed reading this and clever play on words. Nice work :-) Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

Thanx, Thanx, Thanx

For your delightful comment. But as is often the case (or valise?), I indulged in play with words borrowed from fictional people. To be more than honest, I think it a might unusual to have me at a party of all women. But then maybe not. Who knows? Stranger events I have attended have happened. Events I won't here address. At least not now. Yours, Chuck
