PARTY OF THE CENTURY (#15 Pick 4 or more)

It was a lavish affair

Only the brightest and best

Were invited, and there

Was no room for the rest

The blacklist was as long

As the earth is flat

And the size of the throng

Showed the truth in that.

But if you could wrestle,

If you could sing,

Had a big shiny vessel,

Or a small gaudy ring,

A flat piece of paper,

A nice golden tooth,

An ant-eating tapir,

Or an wild untold truth,

Then maybe they'd make

An exception for you

But of course they would take

A donation or two.

For this fancy event

Lasted only one night

Until your money was spent

And the morning was bright.

Caren E. Salas

Prompt: Use 4 or more of the following words: flat, ring, lavish, vessel, tooth, paper, blacklist gaudy.
These poems always come out a little funky, but I just had fun with it, and tried
to use all the words.
