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.
