Graciously Does It

Graciously she walked into the ballroom hall Confidently treading, careful not to fall Buffet on the side where careless people dropped Grapes and other things which needed to be mopped Graciously she walked to make eloquent handshakes Not noticing the floor and discarded fairy cakes A scream and then a thud she landed in full sight Of all the guests around on this once a year night Ungraciously she walked away to hide her reddened face And to clean herself up and to wash away disgrace Mutters in the room were heard, "it must have been those heels" They stood around judgementally picking at their meals Graciously she walked up to the venue hosts When she mentioned litigation they turned as white as ghosts
