CCCLXXXVII - Six Thirty For Seven

dVerse prompts us to write on some aspect of food.

Here is an offering about a dinner party.

All comments are ficticious.  I don't even have a cat.

Six Thirty For Seven

Oh darling!  So lovely to see you!

Do come in!  Here, let me take that.

Now, who can I introduce you to?

Just put them over there.  Ignore the cat.

…Tell me, what would you like to drink?

…He’s out playing with the barbecue

…Never mind, there’s a cloth over by the sink

…Hi!  I’m in banking, what do you do?

…This dip is absolutely delicious!

…Of course it’s true, it was on the news

…I thought he was needlessly vicious

…Tell me where you bought those shoes!

…Opinion polls are always skewed

…The umpire’s decision cost us the game

…No salad for him – he calls it ‘rabbit food’

…Now she’s left, the show's just not the same

…I think the whole system’s on the nose

…I’m the same size as on my wedding day

…There’s always next year, I suppose

…Can you pass the dressing down this way?

…Oh, that cake is superb, it’s just divine!

…We must see the war through to the end

…Nothing in a box should be labelled wine

…Talkback hosts are expected to offend

…Things are clearly rotten at the top

…Did you see they’ve made a mechanical cow?

…Some friends took me to a sex shop

…Would anyone like a coffee now?

…I wasn’t really asking your advice

…That is a really unusual ring tone

…Those chocolates are far, far too nice

…Look at the time!  The night has flown!

The folk depart with well-meant wishes,

Things in the house return to norm;

The dishwasher battles with the dishes.

And the cat is sleeping, somewhere warm.
