         Three dozen or so revelers whoop it up.
       Prince''s signature smash-hit song, "1999"
        Is blasting top volume on loud speakers.
          A rollicking party reaches a fever pitch 
      Libations flow freely like a mountain stream.
      In less than an hour of frenzed fun, not one, 
      But two party goers stagger out of the venue.
     The first out with a bottle of beer still in hand
       Trips and falls; the second can barely stand.
    The rollicking party is disturbing the neighbors
             As inhibitions are loosened, fun turns 
        Disastrous; common sense takes a holiday.
      One drunk projectile vomits on the wrong guy.
       He gets decked on the kisser for his troubles
    Far too many have taken Prince's song seriously.
Oh, party they sure did, as if there were no tomorrow. 
                The party grew increasingly rowdy 
           Fisticuffs break out and chaos balloons
     Out of control. Before long, police sirens blare.
