Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Socialite Charity Event

This years most prized 

Hottest ticket above all

Red carpet 

Socialite Charity Event

The Guest list comprised of the

Who's , who amongst the elite

Those who are actually in the know

And the conversation in between

3* Star Michelin dinning courses

Drifted into the aristocracy saying

Rather than let the poor and needy

Starving and going hungry

Eat cake instead

Of stale old mouldy bread

Whilst congratulating one another

Sipping and raising a toast

On Vintage Champagne

Costing over $2k a pop

Which cost no where near as much

As their designer bespoke suit

Hand crafted jewellery

Or Watch

And you don't even want to know

Just how much the actual price of the

Ticket cost

Because that will surely

Take the Cake

And prove exactly just how entirely

Fake this all in fact is

And who truly benefits

From Charity most above all
