Frankenstein's Tea Party

Frankenstein held a tea party, but I did not go, I am not one for large crowds and fol-de-rol I sent a note saying I was sick with COVID and all, I never go out when there is this much snow. Since I am not really known as a social butterfly, It is likely that I will never get another invite, For Frankenstein will surely think I was impolite And he most definitely won’t give me another try. It is all right, you see, since I find Frank boorish One should never serve plastic and paper plates Frankenstein also has a habit, you see, he berates, And those who take tea have been known to vanish.
