Urgent Tea Party

Urgent Tea Party Mrs. Jet sent out the invitations in a fever and a heat Envelops sealed with royal wax and stamps she licked herself The tea would be at Meadow Marsh Retreat two weeks from now Appropriate attire is required for all attending this event Pleated blouse and sleeves for women, tux and tie for men “No extraneous unknown entities will be permitted No other friends, family, dogs, or fish will be let in” Attendees are sworn to secrecy It must be something serious! It must be something dire! Mrs. Jet intimated in her letter with some guile In her subtle way by way of content details; “Oolong Da-Hong Pao and Dragon Well Bud Tea will be prepared”, she wrote These teas are only served in emergencies, as we all know This must be something grandiose indeed Two weeks later to the minute Mrs. Jet and company sat under the ulmus trees at Meadow Marsh Sipping the lovely teas when she stood up to make remarks Welcome one and all to this Urgent Meeting on this urgent matter. My credit score is perfect every time I’m about to lose my mind 3 weeks ago my credit report was due It was released but to who? Perhaps they forgot to mail it I fear it must be lost or stolen The perpetrator of this malfeasance must be jailed The TV says my credit score is needed It must be repeated daily Mrs. Jet set out to make this point Without a credit report and score, what’s the use of going on? Many of the honored guests were equally offended and annoyed Some gasped. Some even fainted. Who would take your credit score?! One man interjected as he roared This means war!
