New Years Eve (Non) Party

Happy New Year, Poetry Lovers

Now, you must have been at our New Years Eve non-party last night. Of course, we were all masked so we wouldn’t recognise each other, but wasn’t it a wonderful bash?! 

To those of you whose invitation got lost in the post, I apologise. Top of the list for next year!!

The wonderful Trisha Broomfield, talented poet and fellow Booming Lovely was one of the tip-top guests (along with Sharron Green), and Trisha has penned a wonderful anticipatory response to this event of the year.

Read on, it’s marvellous!

The Non-Party

I’m going to a non-party
it’s invitation only

I’m wearing my best jumpsuit
I’ll order up a Pony,

that’s Bourbon and Campari
throw in bitters, orange peel,

I’ll wear my velvet jacket
and my very highest heel (s).

Heather will host the party
Sharron will be there

and other folks all arty
with flowers in their hair.

The drink will flow and music thump
we’ll have the bestest time

recite so many verses
that by midnight we’ll all mime.

So think of our non-party
as you see the New year in

we’ll be having so much fun
drinking punch with Bombay gin.

We’ll do a snake-like conga
as we all play the fool,

while you’ll be supping cocoa
in front of Later with Jool(s).

Wasn’t that a fantastic piece?! Thank you so much, Trisha. 

So now, hands up, who actually didn’t go out at all?! Yes, me too. Started as I meant to go on. Mind you, it was good on Jools Holland this year.
