The dinner was just piglagorious,
And our host was dimly vainglorious,
But the weather was fine
For most of the time,
And the wine was simply uproarious.

There once was a girl from Turin
Who was out when she was s’posed to be in.
When people came knocking,
They complained it was shocking,
and left a curt note that they’d been.

A bard from the island of Rhodes
Had a wondrous collection of toads.
They were all shapes and sizes,
And even won prizes
For their singing in various modes.

A clever young girl called Roberta
Would never let anyone hurt ’er.
She’d get in real quick
With a punch and a kick
Before all her pluck could desert her!
