The tea party guests were warmly welcomed, By Frankenstein and his just-married bride. All their nearest new neighbors had come, To their quaint estate in the countryside. The refreshments were utterly delectable, The cakes and cookies so moist and sweet; But unease among the guests was detectable, Lending chills to the golden August heat! Host and hostess were witty and charming, But there were stitches upon her forehead; And the screws in his skull were alarming- Pale excuses were made ere the guests fled! Written just for fun, and not for the contest

WoW! Evelyn, Nice content, rhymes, and imagery. I really enjoyed your well-written tale from start to finish. When I read your final stanza, I chuckled because I could just picture them high tailing it out of there. Well done. Have a great day and week, my friend:-) Alexis

A fun poem. Can imagine Frankenstein with bolts in his skill and the stitches in madame's forehead. I would have fled too.
