Iris' Party Trick

Apr 2002

When going to a party she's never there late,
If the invite's eight-thirty she arrives at eight.
Her hosts are probably still getting dressed
As she makes sure she's the very first guest.
They answer the door quite flustered, in shock,
So she offers to go for a walk round the block
But of course they won't let her and usher her in,
Which gives her the chance to be first at the gin.
But let me just offer one piece of advice -
It's a neat little trick but it never works twice!
